Vincent
Tan, owner of English Championship club Cardiff City, has bought
Belgian first division club KV Kortrijk for a fee of £3.6 million.
“The De Gryse family and Vincent Tan have both prioritised the
continuation and long-term preservation of an ambitious first division
side in Kortrijk,” a statement said. “A number of clear arrangements
have been made to ensure the club will maintain its individuality.”
The statement added that Tan will not make any significant changes to
the running of the club nor its management, although it has been
reported that the Cardiff chief executive, Ken Choo, will serve as a
director.
Tan caused controversy at Cardiff when he changed the club’s kit from
blue to red in 2013, although it was changed back in January this year.
Kortrijk’s home colours are red.
Tan also owns FK Sarajevo in Bosnia and has a minority stake in Los Angeles FC
