FC Twente and Heracles Almelo hold gold with Iddo Roscher, the new head of the joint youth academy of the two clubs from Overijssel. That is the opinion of Nick Kersten and Wilco van Schaik, who worked with him at NEC.
The NEC youth academy is known for producing good talents, partly because of Roscher. “I am surprised that the top three did not win Iddo. He is an incredible craftsman. FC Twente holds gold,” Kersten tells in conversation with Football International.
Van Schaik, general manager at the club from Nijmegen, agrees with Kersten. “Roscher’s legacy is there, he is now starting a new challenge at Twente. With Dennis te Braak we get someone who has looked into the kitchen at Feyenoord and who is now going to add his accents to the basis and vision of Roscher. We are far from finished. “
Vision and policy
The general manager is satisfied with the policy of his club. “In the past three years, we have created a total plan from academy to the first team at NEC. There is now a blueprint that you could also put down with another club. If you give such a process five or ten years, it will also happen there. It all starts with vision and policy. “
