The title has flown, but after last season’s double, Antwerp can soon win the cup again. Afterwards, many architects threaten to close the door of the Bosuil behind them behind all that success.
The Great Old aims to fill the gaps in the accounting Gazette of Antwerp First of all, a lucrative summer of transfers, in which George Ilenikhena, among others, should make the cash register ring. Money with which it can look for new goldcrests.
Antwerp has to cash in
Although it appears not to be the intention to immediately spend that income again, because according to the newspaper, Sven Jaecques and Joachim Vercaigne mainly focus on cheap targets. The CEO and chief scout are currently doing the honors for Marc Overmars.
The director of football affairs has been suspended until November due to inappropriate behavior. Since he is on the payroll as an independent employee in Deurne-Noord, Overmars will not be paid any wages in the meantime, Jaecques recently confirmed.
Overmarching towards exit?
Although he obviously remains involved behind the scenes, the Dutchman does not officially perform any functions for the number one team today. The question is whether this will change again. Still according to GVA a final farewell is one of the options.
“Paul Gheysen, who thinks highly of him, wants to do everything he can to keep Overmars on board,” it sounds. Although he is contracted until mid-2026, the technical director was already linked to Saudi Arabia a while ago, just like Mark van Bommel.
Emptying on the Bosuil
Partly because his ambitions are no longer in danger of being in line with the financial troubles, he would call it quits a year before his contract expires. An example that Overmars may well follow. Although the duo reportedly feels at home in Antwerp.
