KAA Gent trumps Club Brugge for Genk coach Wouter Vrancken: who will be the big winner? – Football news

In recent weeks, Club Brugge was also mentioned for the current coach of KRC Genk, but in the meantime it seems clear that KAA Gent could become the new team for Wouter Vrancken.

With the Buffalos, Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s adventure is more than likely written after this season. There were quite a few rumors about the possible arrival of Besnik Hasi – end of contract with Mechelen. However, that does not seem to be happening now.

And so Sam Baro & co had to look for an alternative, which they have now found with Wouter Vrancken. He seems to be in his last weeks at Genk after a season that often fell just short, both in Europe and in the competition.

There is already a rumor that Vrancken would be fired this week. Possibly that a possible jump-off match between Genk and Ghent would be too difficult for European football and that is why a decision is already being made?

Wouter Vrancken a good match with Ghent?

At KAA Gent, some supporters would have preferred Hein Vanhaezebrouck to stay, but that was a difficult situation with the new boss. And some fans also had current assistant Danijel Milicevic in high regard – so that won’t be him either.

Vrancken is of course also an old acquaintance – he played for the Buffalos between 2004 and 2006. So no one is against it in advance The emperor will be from Sint-Truiden. But is it a good match between him and Ghent?

In recent months, Vrancken has been clear to his board in Genk several times and made it clear that there has been a loss of quality this winter due to a number of outgoing transfers. The question remains: can he make more of his mark in Ghent?

Hein Vanhaezebrouck – no wimp – saw more than half of his production leave this winter with Fofana, Cuypers and Gift Orban. Ghent also managed to strengthen themselves less from January onwards and even missed out on the Champions’ Play-off.

Offensive football in the Planet Group Arena?

That is also one of the biggest possible problems that Wouter Vrancken can encounter at Ghent. Because if there is money available, a lot is possible. Ghent’s playing style is similar to that of Vrancken.

He already used different plans at Genk this season, with attacking football being the motto. Also towards the supporters, who are often demanding in what they want. It could be a match made in heaven, a lot will depend on the summer (and winter).
