Antwerp loses video analyst to Turkish Amedspor. Besnik Hasi has taken Younes Abdel Wahab, who was recently the video analyst at Antwerp FC, to Amedspor, which earned promotion to the Süper Lig this summer.

Who is Younes Abdel Wahab and what does his departure mean?

Younes Abdel Wahab served as Antwerp's video analyst for the past two seasons, providing footage and tactical insights that helped coach Bjarne Henriksen prepare for matches. His exit creates a gap in the technical staff, especially as the club eyes a European campaign. Hasi, however, already has a replacement in sight, so continuity is not completely lost.

Why did Hasi choose Amedspor?

Besnik Hasi, who also recently moved Stef Wils to Amedspor, sees the Turkish side as a growth opportunity. Amedspor aims for a solid debut season in the Süper Lig and asked Hasi to strengthen both the technical staff and scouting. For Hasi, this expands his network across Europe.

How does this affect Antwerp’s preparation?

Losing a video analyst could temporarily disrupt the analysis workflow. Still, Antwerp has shown resilience: the last match ended in a 2‑0 win over KVC Westerlo (2026‑05‑23). Moreover, the team’s recent five‑game record stands at 2W‑2D‑1L, with a two‑game winning streak still alive. Those results suggest the staff can absorb the change.

What’s on the agenda for the coming weeks?

Antwerp is now gearing up for the next Jupiler Pro League fixture against Club Brugge, with the new video analyst already in the starting line‑up. Hasi has said the focus is on maintaining current form and fine‑tuning set‑pieces. The club remains active in the transfer market but emphasizes internal stability after Abdel Wahab’s departure.

The situation highlights how dynamic Antwerp’s technical staff can be and how quickly decisions are made to preserve the competitive edge.
