Prefer Liège than Anderlecht
RSC Anderlecht spoke with Thomas Rodrigues Pereira last summer. “I was one of the shortlisted candidates for the position of CEO Non-Sports at Anderlecht and I had an interview with the club management this summer,” he says. The Capital.
“However, I didn’t have a good feeling about it and soon afterwards I was approached by a headhunter working for RFC Liège. Two or three long conversations with David Kirsch, the club’s shareholder, and co-chairman Jean-Paul Lacomble were enough to convince me,” he says.
Vanden Eede does go to RSCA
“Why? Because firstly it was a club with a human approach, and secondly, it had medium to long-term ambitions, which particularly appealed to me,” said Rodrigues. At Anderlecht they appointed Isabelle Vanden Eede as CEO Non-Sports a few weeks later. In October, Rodrigues became CEO at RFC Liège. He previously worked for the Belgian Football Association and Union SG.
Even more changed at Anderlecht afterwards. Kenneth Bornauw returned as CEO, Michael Verschueren became chairman. Wouter Vandenhaute left again as chairman. The people of Brussels hope that they have finally found the necessary stability. A new head scout has also been appointed with David Verwilghen, which means Dries Belaen will be leaving the club.
