Antwerp FC announced on Thursday that Joseph Oosting will be the new head coach. Oosting replaces Stef Wils, who was fired after a disappointing start to the season.

What happened?

Oosting will succeed Stef Wils, who only started last summer. Wils could not prevent Antwerp from slipping to the lower regions of the Jupiler Pro League.

Why is this important for Antwerp?

The arrival of Oosting is an important step for Antwerp, which needs new life after a disappointing start to the season. Oosting has previously been successful at FC Twente, where he finished third in the Eredivisie in 2024.

What's next?

Oosting and his assistant Nicky Hofs will start their new job on Monday. Farin Haroun will be in charge of the match against Club Brugge next weekend. Antwerp hopes that Oosting can bring the club back to the top of the Jupiler Pro League.
