Former Arsenal midfielder Marc Overmars leaves his position as sporting director at Royal Antwerp, announcing the decision on Wednesday. Both outlets report that he does not plan to continue in the role and that his departure is linked to health concerns.
The Independent states that Overmars cites health issues as the reason for stepping down. The Mirror similarly describes the move as a response to a serious health condition, framing it as a “worrying health update.” While the exact medical details are not provided in the summaries, the outlets agree that his decision is driven by his health and that it affects his ability to carry out the sporting director duties at the club.
