Deschacht: "Wanted to stay with Anderlecht for free"

INTERVIEWS In an interview with RTBF, Olivier Deschacht made some remarkable statements about his departure from Anderlecht last summer. "Except for one person, everyone wanted me to stay."


"Vanhaezebrouck wanted me to stay to guide the youngsters. I had peace to sit on the bench and would have stayed for free for a year. I thought I had seen everything in the football world, but the way I was pushed to the exit last summer has opened my eyes. "

Olivier Deschacht eventually signed for Lokeren. In November of last year, he scored his first goal for the Waaslanders in the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium.
