NAC Breda coach Carl Hoefkens describes week as frustrating

Carl Hoefkens, head coach of NAC Breda, said this week has been very difficult, frustrating and heavy. He made the comments after the team's 3‑3 draw with AZ Alkmaar.

The match ended in a 3‑3 stalemate, with both sides exchanging goals. The result left NAC Breda still searching for consistency after their recent relegation.

NAC Breda were relegated from the Eredivisie last season and are now competing in the Eerste Divisie. The club aims to rebuild and return to the top flight.

Hoefkens described the build‑up to the AZ game as particularly frustrating, citing a series of setbacks in training and preparation. He said the team struggled to find rhythm leading up to the match.

The coach also admitted that his own future at the club remains uncertain. He did not rule out a possible departure but said he will continue to focus on the squad.

Despite the challenges, Hoefkens stressed the importance of staying focused on upcoming fixtures. He highlighted the need to improve defensive stability and capitalize on attacking opportunities.

The coming weeks will test NAC Breda's resolve as they aim to climb the league table and address the coach's future. Fans will watch closely to see whether Hoefkens remains at the helm.
