OTHER The search for a new coach has been dragging on for several weeks. Sporting director Antoine Sibierski and CEO Kenneth Bornauw are taking their time to select the right candidate. The club is deliberately opting for a manager who can build for the long term, rather than having to change course again in short order. The name of Karel Geraerts has been mentioned regularly in recent weeks, but Anderlecht has made it clear that he is no longer in the running to become the next head coach.
Talks did take place, but in the end the club is opting for a different profile. Who is currently top of the list remains behind closed doors for now. Sibierski is keeping the negotiations deliberately out of the spotlight. Nathan De Cat is present at the first training session. Despite concrete interest from abroad, mainly from Germany, he remains a Anderlecht player for the time being. Mihajlo Cvetkovic, meanwhile, was not given permission to take part in the Under-19 European Championship, allowing him to complete the full pre-season with the first team. In addition, Cédric Hatenboer and Moussa Ndiaye are returning after their loan spells. Luis Vazquez and Majeed Ashimeru will rejoin the group later this week.
