The chance that Hein Vanhaezebrouck will still be coach at KAA Gent next year looks very slim. He has already been appointed as Ronny Deila's successor at Club Brugge.
On the final day, there are still four teams competing for the last two tickets to the Champions Playoffs. After the draw with Union SG, KAA Gent's fate was no longer in his hands, unlike KRC Genk and KV Mechelen.
“Due to the lack of quality, Ghent have been very generous in defense for some time. The ability to score up front is missing because a lot of attacking quality is gone,” Wim de Koninck said at Het Nieuwsblad.
However, he is still hopeful that there will be an unexpected turn of events where Gent end up in the top six, because the Buffaloes are still achieving a decent level of play despite all the bad luck and disappointments. “I think they will play an important role there and therefore immediately act as a referee in the title debate.”
Although there is also the attitude of coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck that influences the situation. “No, I really don't see Heine signing again for Ghent. The Buffaloes are therefore facing a massive transformation at all levels, in terms of management, coaching staff and player group.
Vanhaysbrouck has already been mentioned at Club Brugge, but De Koninck is officially talking about it. He added: “Personally, I think that the dispute between Heine and the supporters of Bruges is very deep, but perhaps he himself will dare to face this challenge.”
