Jamiro Monteiro has transferred from PEC Zwolle to NEC Nijmegen, while veteran midfielder Lewis Holtby has departed NAC Breda after a single season. These moves, reported by De Telegraaf and official club communications, signal a roster reshuffle for several Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie sides as they adjust their squads for the current campaign.
Jamiro Monteiro Joins NEC Nijmegen from PEC Zwolle
NEC Nijmegen has secured the services of Jamiro Monteiro, who moves from PEC Zwolle to bolster the midfield at the GelreDome.
Lewis Holtby Departs NAC Breda
Lewis Holtby is leaving NAC Breda after one season with the club. The departure of the former Tottenham Hotspur and FC Schalke 04 midfielder was confirmed by NAC Breda through their official channels and reported by Omroep Brabant.
Holtby’s tenure in Breda was viewed by local media as a “dream marriage” that ultimately ended in a break. BN DeStem characterized the stint as a “football fairy tale” that failed to reach a lasting conclusion. While the veteran brought significant international experience to the side, the partnership did not extend beyond the initial year.
Reports from AD.nl indicate that Holtby will not be accompanying NAC into the Keuken Kampoene Divisie (KKD), confirming that the midfielder’s chapter in Breda has closed definitively.
Broader Transfer Activity in the Dutch Leagues
The movement of Monteiro and Holtby coincides with several other shifts across the Dutch football pyramid. AD.nl reports that Plug is heading to Excelsior, while Hwang is reportedly on the move toward Porto, indicating a period of high volatility in player registrations.
