Diggers, wine & brotherly love – The story of Atert Bissen’s rise in Luxembourg

Описание: Video Podcast: The incredible story of high-flying Atert Bissen in Luxembourg, plus KNVB Beker fun in the Netherlands and the chaos engulfing Olympic Charleroi in Belgium

In just three seasons, a small-town club from central Luxembourg have gone from third-tier obscurity to challenging for the top-flight title.
 
At the heart of their rise is president Carlos Teixeira, a construction entrepreneur who literally built the club’s stadium himself before reluctantly taking over the reins.
 
On this episode, we tell Atert Bissen's story – before heading to the Netherlands, where an amateur club in the KNVB Beker are guaranteed to lift a trophy whether they win the competition or not.
 
To complete the Benelux trio we finish off in Belgium, where an angry father, a potential Iraqi investor and a revolving door of coaches have allegedly turned Olympic Charleroi into a hot mess.
