The ex-chairman of the Belgian national team, Tobias Alderweireld, will become the leader of Antwerp, having joined the investment consortium that is taking control of the club.

The group is devastated by Anderlecht's longtime president Wouter Vandenhoute, who already has a strong relationship with the club's current leader, Paul Gheyssens.. It is expected that the project, which is estimated at tens of millions of euros, will be officially completed in the coming days.

Alderweireld and Vandenhoute have already returned to sick leave.

" Her love and love for the club have deeply destroyed us.

We are ready to immediately take responsibility for the future of Antwerp"

According to HLN, an important role in the negotiations was played by the Prime Minister of Belgium Bart de Wever, who facilitated access to homes from representatives of the insurance company Ethias. With this, the general director of the club, Sven Jacques, will save his land and also become one of the shareholders.

Last season, Antwerp finished in the regular championship of Belgium, without making it to the championship group, and in the playoffs for the European Cup, finishing in fifth place, having lost without international.
