Antwerp FC coach Marvin Compper faces pressure amid poor results

Marvin Compper remains under significant pressure as the coach of Antwerp FC following a string of poor performances, including a recent 2-2 draw against Lommel SK and a loss to Cercle Brugge. Despite the mounting tension, club icon Patrick Goots suggests that an immediate dismissal is unlikely, as the leadership appears to be prioritizing stability over the frequent coaching changes seen in previous years.

Compper is expected to have until the winter break to improve results before a formal evaluation takes place. The upcoming international break is viewed as a critical period for the German coach to adjust his squad.

To address the current imbalance in the roster, which is noted for its high number of young players, Antwerp is reportedly preparing for the winter transfer window. The club is looking to add experience to the squad, with a shortlist of targets that includes a creative midfielder and a left-back.
