The man who did it all, the best striker in Belgium, a player who – according to Mark van Bommel – made more tackles as a forward than Mark ever did as a midfielder, is leaving Royal Antwerp Football Club after four unforgettable seasons.
It has been a privilege to have Vincent in our team. From day one, it was clear that he was not only an exceptionally talented footballer, but someone who truly embodied the DNA of Antwerp. The warrior of the Bosuil. Relentless. Tireless. Always charging forward, whether the team was leading or trailing – it never mattered, and that is exactly what RAFC stands for.
With his quality and unstoppable determination, he became one of the architects behind the club’s greatest successes – a forth Belgian Cup, the fifth league title, a historic Double, the Super Cup, and Champions League at the Bosuil. Janssen came, saw, and conquered.
Vincent, with 173 matches in the famous red-and-white shirt, the curtain falls not only on your time at the club, but on one of the most beautiful eras in our history.
Thank you for everything. We wish you nothing but success and happiness in the next chapter of your career. To us, RAFC supporters, you will forever remain one of the heroes of the Double, and the embodiment of Royal Antwerp fury, a fighter with a red-and-white heart. 🔴⚪️
