Shock Departure of Sydney van Hooijdonk from NAC Breda

omidbasir- NAC Breda has reacted with considerable surprise to the sudden departure of Sydney van Hooijdonk to the Portuguese club Estrela Amadora. Coach Carlo Hoefkens has expressed his shock at this unexpected transfer.

Carl Hoefkens indicated that he was completely blindsided by the move. “I have always expressed my confidence in him. This came completely out of the blue,” the surprised Hoefkens stated to Voetbal International. The Belgian coach also refuted any notion that he had doubts about Van Hooijdonk’s capabilities. Although the 25-year-old striker started regularly earlier in the season, he had recently been relegated to a bench role in the last few matches.
