In principle, there is nothing at stake for OH Leuven in the European play-off, as their deficit seems too great to be able to compete for a final win. However, their motivation did not seem to be affected, as they recorded their second straight win against STVV on Saturday.
Thanks to Maaziz's goal, the Canaries were defeated 1-0. So Oscar Garcia can be a happy man. The Spanish coach may have a personal motivation to end the season in the best possible way. He indicated after the game that he might leave the OHL after the season.
Garcia has been linked with Club Brugge, Gent and Antwerp
This is remarkable, because Garcia only settled at Den Drif in November and is still under contract until 2026. However, in the French media, he has already been linked with Club Brugge, AA Gent and Antwerp, who all appear to be searching for a new coach. .
In his post-match press conference, Garcia did little to calm rumors about his future. He signed: “If I lose all the matches now, they might not want me anymore. It's impossible to predict.” The newspaper After all, up.
Garcia doesn't rule out leaving the OHL
“Whether I stay or leave, I'm still trying to improve the team,” Garcia continued. “We are now doing what we wanted to do in the OHL. Just look at how the young players have improved. My idea is to improve the boys individually and thus improve the team as well.”
It remains to be seen whether the OHL will have to look for a new coach again in the summer. Garcia is reportedly unhappy that his January transfer wishes were not met. This may prompt him to consider leaving, or at least increase pressure on the club's board of directors.
