FC Twente

Erik ten Hag has officially ruled himself out of contention for the vacant Netherlands head coach position, reaffirming his commitment to his technical director role at FC Twente. This decision leaves the Dutch Football Association searching for a new leader after Ronald Koeman's recent resignation.

Bayern Munich have joined the pursuit of FC Twente defender Ruud Nijstad, with Eintracht Frankfurt preparing a first offer and PSV Eindhoven already rebuffed. The 18-year-old Dutch centre-back now sits at the centre of a cross-border battle for one of Europe’s most-watched young defenders.
