Erik ten Hag, the technisch directeur of FC Twente, is a forerunner of changing the Dutch football. He is a proponent of reviewing the way Jong teams can join the Dutch football pyramid. This change would give clubs like FC Twente a better chance of competing at the top level. Ten Hag also expressed his regret over FC Twente giving up its place in the KNVB Cup (KKD) in the past. He believes the route to the KKD is complicated, but does not rule out the possibility of returning to the competition.
