Coach Vercauteren extended his contract with a year as trainer and 2 seasons as technical director yesterday. The players were very positive about the contract extension of their coach.


“I thought the extension was planned for the beginning of March”, Bart Goor said. “But I’m happy that the coach will stay with us. Because of that you keep the peace and quiet in the group. Now there’s clearness and relief for the future.”

Defender Olivier Deschacht is really happy: “He’s the one who made me the football player that I am today. I think it’s very positive that he stays. He will help me even more in the future.”


Mbark Boussoufa wasn’t surprised: “I knew this was going to happen. He had a hard time last year but the staff supported him and in the end, Anderlecht were champion. It’s a good thing that he also gets the support now. Our football isn’t that good at the moment but that’s not the trainer’s fault. Vercauteren knows what he wants. He’s very strenuous but that’s normal for a big club.”
