But in nearby Belgium, no one seems to care. Moreover, Mark Overmars quickly found a new job. The former first operative of Ajax will now be the new sports director of Antwerp.

Allegedly, the club considers the outbursts that Overmars made in Ajax - private matters. And they are not interested in that. They agreed with the Dutchman, from whom they expect to make a big preparation in the club and create a new Antwerp, which will play an important role not only in Belgian, but also in European football. As far as knowledge is concerned, Overmars certainly does not lack that. General manager Sven Jacques informed the press that he had long conversations with Overmars and explained what the club's standards and values ​​are.
„It is very important to give people another chance. That's what we stand for as a club, We did not talked with our female stuff about this hire. In the first instance it was important to get this right and to work it out among ourselves" Jacques said at the press conference on Monday.
New director also talked briefly about his Ajax scandal before moving on to football matters.
"I want to leave the Ajax page behind me. My departure was very sad. I have to go through that and beyond. I'm going to do that now. What happened at Ajax did not influence my contract negotiations at Antwerp. That's well rounded. It will not happen again" said the former director of football affairs at Ajax.
Belgium especially believes that Mark will turn Antwerp into a money-making machine, because Ajax has earned 350,000,000 euros from the sale of players since 2013, when he took the director's chair, and bringing in experienced Dusan Tadic and Daley Blind were visionary moves. because the two, as role models and leaders for the young team, launched Ajax to the semifinals of the Champions League.
