The coaches circle in Jupiler Pro League has gradually started. Genk, Club Brugge, Antwerp, KV Mechelen, Standard, … are all looking for a new coach. And what about Anderlecht? Will Vincent Kompany stay?
“I have no idea,” admits Peter Vandenbett. “I’m not necessarily sure. I think the management is less satisfied with the season than Kompany himself to be honest.”
“I think they expected more, especially at the end of the season. They were in an excellent position, but in a few crucial moments, like the cup final against Ghent, things went wrong. Or that last game against KV Kortrijk, that’s almost where it went wrong. In front of Al Ittihad, you get a chance to start the final matches fun and you lose. And you get another chance against Al Ittihad. And if you add all that…”
“They were also bothered by his positive contacts. They said that for him the season had already been a success for three weeks and he repeats ‘either you have money or patience,’…”
Philip Goss: “It’s also a weakness because that’s why he brought him once. That’s how he started at the club. He had to be positive then.”
“These were other people,” Vandenbett subtly comments.
Verhein changed: “After the match against Club Brugge, he started talking about all those young guests again, when in fact Verhein was the only starting player all season who actually came from his youth. And for the rest one or two. Dealing with youngsters is no longer an excuse.”
“But overall, I think it’s been a good season for Anderlecht.”
