Aad de Mos is full of praise for the work Mark van Bommel delivers as head coach of Royal Antwerp FC. The analyst therefore advises the Belgians to quickly work on a new contract for the Dutchman, which is currently fixed until mid-2024. Van Bommel started in Antwerp with nine consecutive victories and the lead. Royal Antwerp has now dropped to third place in the Pro League.
“Van Bommel is a very good trainer. He reads football and is tactically very strong”, De Mos compliments on Wednesday in an interview with The last news. “It went wrong at PSV because Mark wanted to control the entire club. Hence his nickname ‘The Putin van de Herdgang’. If Van Bommel has a foreign match with the team, he wants to be able to arrange the travel and the hotel himself. Leave it. That’s what all those men in black tracksuits are for in the team photo.” After a series of lesser results, PSV said goodbye to Van Bommel as trainer at the end of 2019.

Via VfL Wolfsburg, Van Bommel ended up at Antwerp in the summer of 2022, where, according to De Mos, he is doing very well. “So far, Van Bommel has won almost all his reference matches with Antwerp – including the return match in the cup against Union (made it to the final after penalties, ed.). That’s how I started as a trainer. .), I would extend Van Bommel’s contract sooner rather than later.”
Royal Antwerp will face KV Mechelen in the Belgian cup final on April 30. Van Bommel’s team then qualified for the Champions’ play-offs of the Jupiler Pro League. The number three won at the last minute on Friday when he visited number seventeen Zulte Waregem: 0-2. Both goals were scored in the final phase and were scored by Toby Alderweireld. Thanks to the victory, Antwerp is now assured of a place in the top four of the Belgian league. Together with Racing Genk, Union St Gilloise and a fourth team, the club from the Flemish port city will compete for the Belgian national championship from next month.
