Marc Overmars (51) has no job in Antwerp since January 9, he has been sanctioned by FIFA as a result of accusations against him when, while at Ajax Amsterdam, several club employees denounced him for sexual harassment. Now, eight months later, an issue related to his contract with the Belgian club has been revealed.
‘De Telegraaf’ points out that Antwerp’s former sporting director, who can continue the activity for a month and a half, will extend his contract last year (it expired in June 2026) until mid-2027 , Sven Jaecques, executive director of The entity confirmed this.
“Marc still comes here for a coffee or a chat, but when we meet here with the agents or the players’ council, I have to send him home. Of course, he gets frustrated. Marc is a football animal .” Jaecques argued that the Dutchman’s contract extension was not a gift to compensate for the suspension.
“That was fixed a long time ago, it was resolved after the championship year. We just didn’t communicate that.” According to ‘De Telegraaf’, at the time of the agreement it was clear that Overmars was threatened with sanctions.
