Heracles Almelo Faces Degradation Struggles Amid Key Transfer

Heracles Almelo is experiencing turmoil this season, grappling with serious relegation concerns. Despite this precarious situation, head coach and technical director Ernest Faber has chosen to facilitate the transfer of the club’s leading scorer, Jizz Hornkamp.

Hornkamp has made an immediate move to AZ, which has paid a record fee for the player by Heracles’ standards. “From the perspective and policies of the club, this is a logical progression,” Faber explained to Tubantia. “While it’s not always pleasant, that’s how it operates at Heracles: a forward arrives, you nurture and develop them, and eventually, another club expresses interest.”
