Antwerp won in pain against Beerschot this Sunday (2-1). At the break, number 1 was trailing 0-1… The Antwerp coach… Brian Priske saw the President Paul Gheysens and his son, Michaelgo down to the locker room. A rather violent clash ensued. The President of Antwerp has, according to the Newspaper had some pretty harsh words towards his coach: “He’s going to fly out, I’m telling you, he’s going to be fired.”
The Tribune team returned to this incident, with strong words, like the declaration of Marc Delire : “What he said is inconceivable. When he says his coach is going to fly out he can do it, but not in the middle of a match. He can say “it’s me who put in the dough, I have 70 million in 4 years, it’s me who decides everything. But I find that Paul Geyssens is the archetype of the nouveau riche who has no class“.
For Nordin JbariBrian Priske should have been firmer with his President: “The coach must take the President out of the locker room, even if he is fired afterwards. Imagine what the next group must be thinking. At some point the coach must tell the President, you are going outside.
