Statement by the Board of Directors

OTHER RSC Anderlecht has just published a statement from the Board of Directors on its website. In it, they confirm the news that Wouter Vandenhaute is stepping aside but also that it is their intention to continue working with Jean Kindermans in the future.


Board statement:

Chairman Wouter Vandenhaute convened the Board of Directors of RSC Anderlecht on Friday afternoon.

Wouter Vandenhaute has decided to step down and convert his mandate as executive chairman into a mandate of non-executive chairman. He will leave the day-to-day management to the two CEOs, Kenneth Bornauw (Non-Sports) and Jesper Fredberg (Sports).

The board regrets the commotion that has arisen around Jean Kindermans in recent days. The board members unambiguously endorse the importance of the youth academy for the club and the merits of Jean Kindermans, as well as the need to keep innovating. Within this ambition, it is the club's intention to continue working with Jean Kindermans on Neerpede's future.

Despite a tough week for everyone who cares about the club, the board of directors, shareholders and management are on the same page regarding the future. The club hopes that supporters will also close ranks and continue to stand behind the club as one.
