Royal Antwerp FC manager Marvin Compper is facing increased scrutiny following a series of poor results, including a 2-2 draw against Lommel SK and a loss to Cercle Brugge. During the match against Lommel, the team failed to maintain leads, resulting in the club securing only five points from 27 possible matches.

Compper attributed recent struggles to defensive errors and a lack of concentration. While speculation regarding his dismissal continues to grow, club figures suggest that leadership may prioritize stability over immediate changes. Compper is reportedly expected to have until the winter break to improve performance before a formal evaluation occurs.

To support the squad, which is currently noted for its high number of young players, the club is reportedly preparing for the winter transfer window. Antwerp aims to add experience to the roster, specifically targeting a creative midfielder and a left-back.
