Club Brugge wants to introduce its new coach as soon as possible. Who will be the man who, just like Alfred Schreuder last year, has to bring about the change in blue-black? Which foreigner preferably with a big name?

The day after the dismissal of Carl Hoefkens, Club shifted up a gear. There are still a few remaining top candidates with whom the necessary talks are being held. Roberto Martinez is known to have already fit for the job. The national coach, who will see his contract with the Belgian football association expire in a few days, has indicated that he currently prefers a job abroad.
It was also clear at Club that Kasper Hjulmand, who has been on the list for years, was not going to do it. And some free trainers that we can delete: Domenico Tedesco, Frank de Boer, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Peter Bosz. But the market is big enough to find the right man.

In any case, it must be someone who brings modern football and commands awe. A well-known head is of course useful for this. Hence even Steven Gerrard’s name fell internally a few weeks ago. It is also available, but then falls off again due to its high price tag, among other things. Scott Parker is another England coach who has come under scrutiny.
The new trainer must in any case also like to start with a crucial match, because next Sunday there will be the crucial move to leader Genk. Will it be possible to get the grinta and the winning mood back into the team in the short term, just like Schreuder did a year ago? The football was not spectacular then, but the blue and black took its third title in a row and qualified for the Champions League.
