The announcement of Fredberg’s departure was not the only news since the president has already found his successor. “Jesper will not be replaced as CEO Sports, but in the new structure we are opting for a sports director, Olivier Renard.”

A real bomb since the former goalkeeper is best known for his past with the sworn enemy Liège. “Renard has acquired great expertise in Belgium and abroad, he knows the atmosphere of the locker room and will work in close collaboration with the sports staff and the scouting unit,” Vandenhaute further specifies.

After five years spent in Canada, Olivier Renard returned to Belgium. “After five years in MLS, it feels really good to come back to Belgium in this role. It’s simply a great honor to get to work at a club like RSC Anderlecht,” he began .

He also gave a little more information about his new role. “I will focus on recruitment, transfer policy and general management of the first team. I am also particularly looking forward to working with the best talent in the country.”

It obviously remains to be seen how the supporters will receive the news since Olivier Renard has, for a long time, defended the colors of Rouches.
