At 37, Dusan Tadic makes his big return to the Eredivisie with NEC Nijmegen, a bold choice that surprises Europe. The former Ajax captain, courted by Saudi clubs, bets on an ambitious sporting project to revive his career. A risky gamble or a stroke of genius?

📌 The essentials

  • Tadic joins NEC Nijmegen after a mixed season at Fenerbahçe, marking his return to the Eredivisie after 6 years.
  • The Serbian, 37, turns down Saudi offers for a sporting project focused on Champions League qualification.
  • His experience and leadership could transform NEC, 7th in the last Dutch championship.
🔴 DIRECT ALERT

« “Tadic is a unique player: his game intelligence and vision largely compensate for his physical decline. NEC is making a winning bet by banking on his influence rather than his speed. It’s a signing that recalls Zlatan’s return to AC Milan.” – *Johan Derksen, Dutch football analyst* »

Why did Tadic choose NEC Nijmegen over a Saudi club?

Tadic prioritized an ambitious sporting project (Champions League qualification) and a return to his roots in the Eredivisie, where he shone with Ajax. Saudi clubs offered him more money, but fewer sporting challenges.

Can NEC Nijmegen really play Champions League this season?

It’s a difficult but not impossible goal. The club will need to outperform the league’s top teams (PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord) and rely on Tadic to make the difference. Bookmakers give NEC odds of 12.00 for qualification.
