Royal Antwerp FC is experiencing disappointing play-offs. The Great Old is last and is in danger of becoming the loser of the play-offs. In the meantime, everyone is wondering what Mark van Bommel will do after this season.

The Dutchman extended his contract with the Great Old until mid-2026 in September 2023 and therefore seemed to want to stay on board for a little longer. But recently more and more problems have emerged at Antwerp, which saw Marc Overmars suspended and is experiencing financial difficulties.

Van Bommel linked to AC Milan

However, Van Bommel himself did not want to give a definitive answer about his future for the time being. But Nicolo Schira seemed to know more. For example, the well-known Italian transfer watcher announced via the medium ‘X’ that the Dutchman has decided that he will leave the Bosuil after the season.

For now we will have to wait for confirmation. It is not yet known where Van Bommel’s future lies. In recent weeks he has been linked to AC Milan, but Julen Lopetegui is said to be the preferred choice.

Van Bommel named at Feyenoord

Meanwhile, other sounds are also heard. Journalist Jurriaan van Wessem now links Van Bommel to Feyenoord, which is said to be “allegedly interested” in the Antwerp trainer. At Milan they suddenly have to speed up.

Van Bommel is said to be the favorite candidate of advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which means that Lopetegui has disappeared into the background for a while. So he seems to be in pole position at San Siro. Anyway: it looks more and more like Antwerp will have to look for a new trainer for next season…
