"Change is always a bit in the unknown, but I have got full confidence and am looking forward to the new season already."
Van Dijk added: "100%, but success is not guaranteed. That's pretty obvious. We are going to work our socks off in order to make it happen and we have a good coach coming in, a good backroom staff.
