Jean Kindermans: Anderlecht’s Departure and Impact on Belgian Football Youth Development

2023-08-15 07:06:00

A departure that will not please Anderlecht supporters: Jean Kindermans, Sporting’s youth director, leaves the club and goes… to Antwerp. The flirtation between Antwerp and Kindermans has already been going on for a few months. His name was also mentioned at Ajax.

Since November 2022, Kindermans served his notice in Anderlecht. President Wouter Vandenhaute and he were not on the same wavelength. Kindermans is one of the last survivors of the former Anderlecht. He was the boss of the youth school in Anderlecht for almost 19 years. His team produced players like Kompany, Lukaku, Tielemans, Dendoncker and Doku, who left for tens of millions.

Anderlecht wants to work in a more modern way and this created tensions between Vandenhaute and Kindermans. His big salary was also a breaking point. Anderlecht would still have wanted to keep him on board, but on lower terms.

Kindermans does not become the boss of the Antwerp youth school, but he will work closely with current boss Steven Smet. Given the breakthrough of Arthur Vermeeren, President Gheysens understood that the school of young people is of paramount importance.
