Antwerp is in a period of transition. The team has just announced that Marvin Comper will be the new coach, just before the start of the season. Many key players have left in the summer and now the Antwerp squad looks remarkably young and light in a few areas. There is still much work to be done for Marc Overmars to get Antwerp back to a team that can win the title or qualify for European football.
What's happening now?
Antwerp has signed a number of new players, including Koki Ando, Luis Narh, Maxime Busi, Michael Frey, Ibrahim Salah, Daniel Mejia and Snaydar Porozo.
Why is this important for Antwerp?
The arrival of Michael Frey is a crucial step for Antwerp. The 32-year-old Swiss striker has made 33 goals in 69 games in his first period with Antwerp. A return to that form could help Antwerp return to the top.
What's next?
Antwerp has a number of young players who will be in the spotlight in the coming months. Youssef Hamdaoui is one of the players we would like to see. The Moroccan teenager has shown signs of being a technically gifted midfielder last season. More playing time this season would really aid his development.
Antwerp has an important match coming up: at home against Kortrijk on 13 February 2027. The team is currently 15th in the league table.
