OTHER Olivier Renard, Chief Technical Officer of RSC Anderlecht, was not present at the crucial match against Club Brugge at Lotto Park. Instead, he was in Qatar for the U17 World Cup, leading to speculation about his role at the club. The podcast HLN Voetbal explains.


Firstly, there is the opportunity for Renard to observe young talents who could be of interest to Anderlecht. The tournament provides a platform for scouting promising players.

Furthermore, the event is a strategic opportunity to build an international network. With numerous agencies, scouts, and club representatives present, Renard can make valuable contacts for future transfers.

Finally, there is the attention for Belgian players participating in the tournament, allowing him to closely monitor their development.

Renard's presence at the U17 World Championships seems logical. His position at the club is not in jeopardy for the time being.
