Aad De Mos sees the power of a trainer constantly decreasing. Where he used to hold the reins tightly, things are completely different today. “Trainers have often become slaves,” said the flamboyant Dutchman.
HLN Degryse and De Mos brought together for a conversation. At the age of 73, De Mos still has his unvarnished opinion. “The right winger from Antwerp (Lamkel Zé), it wouldn’t come in with me. Not a day would it last with me. He arrived there during the training of the promises in his blue basketball jersey … Bye!”
“Trainers have often become slaves, that is no longer for me. There is hardly any room for creativity.”
“Besides that I don’t want to put data in football away. But I see too many trainers for whom data is the truth. I get so tired of those laptop trainers, man.”
