Marc Overmars is currently serving a ban from FIFA. Although the Dutchman’s concerns seem much greater than that.
The Dutch Football Association has suspended Antwerp coach Marc Overmars for a year due to his inappropriate behavior in the Ajax Amsterdam match. Initially they were only counted in the Netherlands, but FIFA has now made them worldwide.
Overmars is not allowed to take up a position at The Great Old until November, but Rene van der Gipp has told Today Inside that his compatriot’s health is not going well. Overmars is not what he used to be, he said.
Overmars had a heart attack in December 2022. As a result, his heart is only functioning at 50 percent. According to van der Gijb, this has a serious impact on Overmars’ health, in addition to the suspension.
It’s hard to keep working
“He’s really suffering with his health. He’s really worried. It’s not the old one at all anymore. This is really very sad. And it all seems to be worse than we think. Sad man,” it seemed.
For Van der Gijp, it is important that Overmars can continue working in the future. “Doing something at this age is always good,” he concludes.
Overmars said last year that it is not easy to concentrate after a heart attack. He also sometimes has to breathe when he talks a lot. The former footballer has already indicated that he does not feel well on a regular basis.
