Article
Marc Overmars ( Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmɑr(ə)k ˈoːvərmɑrs]; born 29 March 1973) is a Dutch former professional footballer and former director of football at Belgian Pro League side Royal Antwerp. He was previously director of football at Ajax. During his football career, he played as a winger and was renowned for his speed and technical skills.
Overmars was born in Emst and was passionate about football from an early age. He began his playing career at SV Epe before joining Go Ahead Eagles' youth team in 1987. He secured a place in the first team by the 1990–91 season, but joined Willem II in time for the following season. His stay at the club was short; after 31 appearances he signed for Ajax in 1992. He established himself as an important member of the team that won three Eredivisie titles from 1994 and 1996 and the UEFA Champions League in 1995. In December 1995, Overmars sustained a cruciate ligament injury which ruled him out of playing for eight months.
