Vitesse Arnhem
In August 2010, he bought financially troubled

There were rumors that this purchase was engineered by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.[2] He followed up by acquiring the services of new players and replacing manager Theo Bos with the inexperienced Albert Ferrer, a former Spanish international defender. In 2013, Jordania appointed Peter Bosz, who left the club in January 2015. In 2016, Henk Fraser
