NAC Breda technical director Peter Maas backs Andre Ayew to boost survival push

NAC Breda technical director Peter Maas has explained the club’s decision to bring in Andre Ayew, pointing to the Ghanaian’s strong desire to help the team in their battle for Eredivisie survival.

Ayew has signed a contract until the end of the current season, with a club option for another season in Breda.

Maas said discussions with Ayew made it clear that the experienced forward was fully committed to the challenge facing the club, which is currently in a difficult position in the league.

“André is eager to help NAC in their fight for survival. That became very clear from our conversations,” Maas said. “We are in a tough situation, but Ayew has also experienced challenging moments in his career.”

He added that Ayew’s professionalism and personal discipline were key factors behind the move, stressing that the club believes his experience and qualities can make an immediate difference.

“He is a true sportsman who takes good care of himself, and we believe that with his experience and specific qualities, he can be of value to NAC right now,” Maas concluded.

Ayew joins head coach Carl Hoefkens' squad immediately. NAC will resume training on Friday, January 2nd, at the BO Infra Training Complex in Zundert.
