FC Twente has experienced a period of improvement in the Eredivisie following a difficult start to the season and a Europa League exit. Early discussions regarding the club’s direction focused on changes to work culture and squad composition under technical director Erik ten Hag. Former player Ricky van Wolfswinkel suggested that these shifts in professional culture could allow the club to disrupt the traditional top-four rankings.

By mid-September, the club’s improved form was evident, with the team winning four of its last six matches and holding a tie for fourth place. Analysts noted that the squad has achieved better coordination, specifically among strikers, and has conceded the fewest goals in the league.
