Mark van Bommel was crowned champion with Antwerp. Yet he also had to make unpopular decisions this season.
Royal Antwerp FC brought in Marc Overmars and Mark van Bommel last summer. The Dutch top duo took the reins firmly in hand and that was necessary to lead the club to the double success of this season.
Although there were also few popular decisions. Thus Radja Nainggolan and Michael Frey were kept out of the core and eventually disappeared elsewhere. Interventions that were necessary according to trainer Mark van Bommel.
“I couldn’t help it. If you put yourself outside the group, then I have to intervene – Marc and I have been very clear about that from the first moment. I had to make those choices, otherwise I would have lost my credibility as a coach.
The trainer of The Great Old is therefore clear when he is asked whether he would have become champion with Nainggolan and Frey. “I don’t think so, no”, he sounds very convinced.
