After securing its place in the Jupiler Pro League, FC Ostend is already gearing up for the upcoming season. The Belgian club’s successful escape from relegation is credited to key additions like Didier Ovono, the Gabonese international goalkeeper, who played a significant role in Ostend’s survival. Recognizing his contribution, the club is keen to retain Ovono for the next season.
The management at Ostend has successfully persuaded the Gabonese goalkeeper to remain with the club, as they recently announced the extension of Ovono’s contract. The 31-year-old shot-stopper has committed to a three-season deal, signaling his dedication to the team’s future endeavors.
“I hope my performances, along with those of the entire team, have brought satisfaction during this past half-season. We are determined to elevate the club to new heights next season,” expressed Didier Ovono on the club’s official website.
Ostend’s coach, Fred Vanderbiest, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of retaining key players like Ovono for team stability. “Having pillars like him continue with us will undoubtedly contribute to the team’s stability,” stated Vanderbiest.
Didier Ovono joined FC Ostend in November last year after his contract with FC Sochaux expired, and his presence has been instrumental in bolstering the team’s defensive line. With Ovono’s contract extension secured, FC Ostend looks forward to building upon their recent successes in the upcoming season.
