Following a 4-2 defeat against RKC Waalwijk, NAC Breda dismissed head coach Carl Hoefkens. The decision was made just five matches into the Keuken Kampioen Divisie season, leaving the club in eleventh place with seven points.

Club leadership, including technical director Peter Maas and general director Remco Oversier, indicated that the dismissal resulted from a failure to realize several improvement points identified during a summer evaluation. Assistant coaches Serdal Güvenç and Michael Dingsdag have been appointed to oversee team duties temporarily while the club seeks a permanent replacement.
