Vandenhaute will turn his focus to filesoo the long term, for example the stadium file, and the Pro League.
Finally, La Dernière Heure reports that there is no question of a construction in which Anderlecht would become part of a network with several foreign club.
According to the newspaper, the club itself does not wish to react to the article in Humo. They do not want to pay attention to something that is not true on many levels.
