Club Brugge have had a very difficult start to the new season. They are not satisfied with 1 out of 9 at the Jan Breydel Stadium.
He lost the Super Cup and only drew three league games. Chairman Bart Verhaeghe has already visited the Club Brugge dressing room three times, and the word crisis is clearly appropriate.
Here and there, names of possible successors have been mentioned, because according to Het Laatste Nieuws, for example, Nicky Hayen will be fired and replaced if he loses the top-of-the-table match against Royal Antwerp FC on Sunday.
According to Hein himself, things are not going smoothly. He announced in his press conference on Friday that he had not been given any warning at all. According to the coach, the necessary discussions this week provided a definitive answer.
Vincent Mannaert has already dropped a bombshell at Het Nieuwsblad by talking about Timmy Simons as a possible successor, although the former Club Brugge CEO hopes it won’t be immediate.
“Well, Timmy is an icon in blue and black. There’s only one Timmy Simmons, and they sing,” he laughs. “So it’s not unreasonable to think about the club first. Hopefully it won’t happen too quickly, and we can let Nicky Haine stay for a while.
