In Anderlecht, if stability seems to have returned, things were still moving quite a bit at the start of the season.
Whether it was the coaches or the sports directors, there were a lot of changes, which sometimes made it difficult to see things clearly. Among the changes Anderlecht would have wanted was the return of a former assistant coach.
Happy to stay in football
A former assistant who was before that a player and who had the best period of his career at Sporting, including a national title. Once his playing career ended, he became a goalkeeping coach. Much appreciated, Frank Boeckx decided on his own to leave.
It was Brian Riemer who tried to convince him to return at the start of this season. And Boeckx doesn’t rule out making a comeback as a coach: “I’m happy to still be in this world as a consultant. But coaching is my passion,” he explains to The Newspaper.
-“I could have come back to Anderlecht”
“I could have come back to Anderlecht as assistant coach at the start of this season. To be honest, I hesitated. But I didn’t do it because I said to myself: ‘I did it for one year what I promised…’.”
Boeckx who is happy not to have returned to Anderlecht: “Looking back, it turned out that my feelings were right. Either I would have been fired at the same time as Brian Riemer, or I would have been asked to “Being a head coach and I didn’t like either one.”
