Hebben agree on Tadić’s magical number ten at NEC for upcoming season

Today at 13:30 the Serbian veteran Dušan Tadić announced he will wear the number ten shirt for NEC in the coming season, a decision that was confirmed during his presentation in Nijmegen. The club and player Hebben agreed the iconic number would be his.

Tadić, a seasoned international, has frequently chosen the "magical number" throughout his career. The number ten is traditionally associated with creative playmakers, a role he has embraced for years.

During the ceremony he was handed the number previously worn by fellow Dutch midfielder Tjaronn Chery. The handover in Nijmegen marks a symbolic passing of the shirt’s legacy within the squad.

"I always played with number ten, that is it. It was an agreement, it is a nice number," Tadic explained, emphasizing the personal significance of the digit. His words underline a long‑standing preference for the jersey.

The presentation highlighted Tadić’s status as a Serviër, reinforcing his international pedigree. NEC fans can now anticipate the Serbian star leading the attack under the famed number ten.
