FC TWENTE chairman Joop Munsterman admitted his side face 'a hell of a job' to make the Champions League group stages after being drawn against Arsenal in the third qualifying round.
The tie hands coach Steve McClaren a homecoming of sorts, as he will return to face an English club less than a year after being sacked as national team manager.
"For FC Twente it is a great billboard to play against a club like Arsenal," said Munsterman. "They are after all a potential candidate to win the Champions League at the end of the season.
"On the other hand, for us it will be a hell of a job to get into the group phase of the Champions League. That is the reality."
Twente host the first leg in Enschede on August 12 or 13, before travelling to the Emirates Stadium for the second leg on August 26 or 27.
