It seems that Hein Vanhaezebrouck is in his last weeks at AA Gent. Both parties have not yet said it in so many words, but it is an open secret that their paths will part after this season. This marks the end of an era for both parties.
After all, Vanhaezebrouck worked for Ghent for no less than 6.5 years, which is an eternity in a coaching career. The question now arises as to where his next challenge will lie. A very remarkable rumor has surfaced in this regard in recent days.
It was suggested from certain quarters that Vanhaezebrouck could start working as technical director at Club Brugge. He is even said to have sat at the table with Bart Verhaeghe several times. A transfer would be extremely remarkable given the rivalry between Club and Vanhaezebrouck in recent years.
After the match against Westerlo, the interviewer tried DAZN/Eleven to ask Vanhaezebrouck about the rumours. He suggested the coach had spoken to “an influential, important man at the head of a blue-black club”.
Vanhaezebrouck debunks rumors brilliantly
Vanhaezebrouck replied with a broad grin. “Denderleeuw (he means FCV Dender, ed.)! That’s blue-black, I think,” he joked. “Timmy Simons can come here and I can go there. We can exchange.”
Vanhaezebrouck immediately managed to defuse the question. He will undoubtedly first want to help his Ghent get a European ticket before really serious about his future. Until then, there will undoubtedly be a lot of speculation about his destination.
