Former Marítimo and Belenenses hero Mitchell van der Gaag reflects on his time in Portugal and his next step in coaching. Interview with the Dutchman by @zachlowy.bsky.social => portugoal.net/classics-top...

Great interview! Derek Rae is the best commentator. He is well prepared with facts and he has genuine excitement when there is a great play or championship win. He would be an awesome commentator for a World Cup final or European championship. I hope Derek gets that opportunity!

The best compliment I can give to @raecomm.bsky.social is that I always feel like I'm watching the match with him, rather than him talking at me. Great stuff, and many more years to come of his stellar work if we're lucky!

Awesome interview by an awesome person with an awesome person.

Derek Rae has done so much work for the Bundesliga that he really doesn't have to do and has been immense for the league and it's reputation outside of Germany.

It's so clear he loves the league, and that love is infectious.
