Anderlecht have announced that Jesper Fredberg is no longer the club’s Sporting Director. The Dane, who had been in post for just over two years, has been replaced by Olivier Renard. The former goalkeeper has had spells with KV Mechelen, standard Liege, Royal Antwerp and most recently Montreal.

Renard comes with some controversy from his time with Mechelen and Operation Clean Hands, an investigation into corrupt practices in Belgian football. While Renard has not been convicted, Anderlecht have a clause included in his deal that says in the event that he ever was to be convicted, he would be fired immediately.

Renard takes over from Fredburg in difficult circumstances. The side had a poor summer, with transfer business happening late. In may ways this cost head coach Brian Riemer his job, although he has since become the head coach of the Danish national team. His interim replacement, former defender David Hubert, was given the job full-time. There were talks that Ryan Mason was set to take over before Hubert was announced permanently, Since then, he has lost both league games since being given the job full time, one of which was against Beerschot, a side who had not won all season.

European football on the other hand is going well. The side are unbeaten in the Europa League, winning all three of their opening games.
