Carl Hoefkens played a significant role in the transfer of Jannes Van Hecke to NAC Breda, according to Van Hecke. However, the team's poor start led to Hoefkens' departure. Van Hecke stated, "We moeten onze verantwoordelijkheid nemen" (We must take our responsibility). The team has now collected seven points from six games in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie.
NAC Breda has appointed Rick Kruys as the new coach. Kruys, 24 years old, expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, saying, "Ik kijk ernaar uit om daarmee verder te werken" (I look forward to working with this). He also emphasized the importance of the players taking responsibility for their performance, adding, "We moeten zelf ook onze verantwoordelijkheid durven nemen. Zelf opstaan" (We must also dare to take our responsibility. Stand up for ourselves).
