Uncertainty continues regarding the situation of Marc Overmars. No one knows at the moment whether the Antwerp FC sporting director will be able to continue working at Bosuil. Even if he can count on the support of the Netherlands.
It was the Dutch Football Federation that announced at the end of 2023 that Marc Overmars would be banned for one year. FIFA has now adopted this punishment worldwide, but Antwerp FC is still waiting for the reason. The reason? Only then is it possible The Great Old Man appeal.
“I think the punishment that FIFA wants to impose is greatly exaggerated,” says Johan Derksen Today Inside for his compatriot. “Marc Overmars has suffered every punishment you can think of. He was fired from AFC Ajax, he was convicted in Holland and his family suffered throughout the story. That man didn’t fight, he didn’t deal drugs or gave people or children sitting.”
Then it’s FIFA that wants to finish off Marc Overmars once and for all
Derksen goes far in his argument. “Overmars did wrong things, but is it punishable by death? And then it is FIFA itself that wants to finish him off completely. The organization that doesn’t care about human rights and allows itself to be corrupted by Russia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are OK, I’m on the bench. His sentence should just be overturned.”
