John Textor’s clubs experience very different destinies. If Botafogo is playing for the title in Brazil and OL are in the European Cup, RWD Molenbeek experienced relegation last season. Former coach of the Belgians, Caçapa includes Textor in the failure.
Is it possible to best manage several global clubs at the same time? The answer can be positive but also negative. The Red Bull group is often held up as an example with scientific management of recruitment and satisfactory results in Leipzig, Salzburg, New York or Bragantino in Brazil. It’s less idyllic for Eagle Football, John Textor’s structure. The majority shareholder of OL, Botafogo and RWD Molenbeek does not have a perfect balance sheet. If Botafogo and OL have rather shone in recent months, his Belgian club experienced relegation last season.
Textor is not well enough supported
The people of Brussels experienced a chaotic 2023-2024 financial year with four different coaches in 12 months and significant tensions with the supporters. The latter criticized a lack of involvement in the short-lived recruits of the RWDM, directly targeting the management of John Textor. Molenbeek’s second coach last season, former Lyon defender Claudio Caçapa looked back on his difficult experience. He believes that the Belgian team has been a little neglected by Textor. For the former OL defender, the American really needs to surround himself because he cannot manage so many clubs alone.
« It’s not easy. Even for Textor who cannot be at RWDM (Molenbeek), Lyon, Botafogo or Crystal Palace at the same time. It must be supervised by trusted and competent people. And you have to have a lot, already when you have a club then when it’s three or four… “, he told the Belgian daily La DH les Sports. A critical forum towards timeshare and towards Eagle Football. In search of a new club on the market, Claudio Caçapa will probably leave the environment of John Textor.
