Nicky Hayen surprises with statements about his relationship with the board of Club Brugge – Football News

Club Brugge fell into the doldrums under Ronny Deila, but after the Norwegian’s dismissal, Nicky Hayen quickly managed to turn the tide. And that positive story will continue for the time being, also resulting in a semi-final in the Conference League.

Hayen listened to the players and that approach worked. “We had the idea of ​​going to a restaurant with a few groups. We just chatted. Not only about sports, but also about their private lives,” the trainer tells Het Nieuwsblad.

But he also often consults with the board and that seems to be the big difference with Ronny Deila. The ex-trainer of Blauwzwart did not like prying eyes and liked to do his own thing.

New contract for Hayen?

“I’ve always worked like that. The day before the match I explain how we want to approach it. And I ask the bosses’ opinion. Everyone who is closely involved with Club knows football. I would be a fool to just ignore all that know-how,” Hayen surprises.

Whether he will remain a trainer at Club Brugge will only be discussed after the season. “My agent and I have not even received any guarantees that I will retain a position within Club. I’m not going to worry about it: you cannot predict the future,” he concludes.
