The appointment of Verbeke as the new coach of the team was reported by the official website of Twente. The contract with the 55-year-old specialist is calculated until the summer of 2019.

"Everyone knows how much I'm emotionally attached to Twente. I grew up in 500 meters from Dikman (old stadium Twente - prim. ), and often my friends and I jumped the fence to watch games for free. I remember the special scoreboard on Dikman, the support of the fans at Vak Q and the victory in the final of the Dutch Cup in 1977, "Verbeke said at his presentation.

"We many times contacted Twente about the work, but before that I did not take the team for various reasons. I'm glad that this finally happened.. This is a huge challenge for me ".

Earlier Twente was headed by Marino Pusic. After 10 rounds, Eredivizi Twente with 9 points goes to the 13th place.
