From the beginning of next season on, Anderlecht will place the best players between 15 and 18 years in 1 group. The youngsters will be trained by Daniel Renders and René Peeters.

Franky Vercauteren and Werner Deraeve will be supervisors.
"We want to make an elite group of our best youngsters who are almost ready for the first team", explains Van Holsbeeck. "Those youngsters train the whole week, get technical and medical help,... Everything is done to prepare them for the first team. And we try to keep them in Anderlecht, instead of letting them go." During the weekend, they will play matches against players of their own age, but on Tuesday, they will play friendly matches against teams of second or third division. (a first time next Tuesday against Racing Mechelen) This is to see if there is evolution, and if they can handle the level. In any case, this is the first real technical accomplishment of Herman Van Holsbeeck.
