It was to everyone’s surprise that Yves Vanderhaeghe became Kortrijk’s coach again. In the north of the country, the appointment of the 54-year-old coach, who is returning for a third stint, was not very well understood.
Freyr Alexandersson was recently fired from KV Kortrijk. The Icelander saved the Kerels from relegation last season, but management was hoping for a much better first round.
In the West Flanders club, it was Yves Vanderhaeghe who took over, less than 24 hours after Alexandersson’s departure. His first result was a split on the lawn of Beerschot, the red lantern.
In the north of the country, the appointment of the 54-year-old coach was not very well understood. Franky Van der Elst notably estimated, in the columns of Newspaperthat Vanderhaeghe’s best years are behind him.
“Ten months with Cercle, ten months with Ostend, four months with Al-Faisaly. We have to be honest, his best period is behind him. He had succeeded in his first two visits to Kortrijk, but that dates from 2018 and 2021. Count Given his recent past, it is difficult to predict how he will fare.”
Kortrijk faces Sporting Charleroi this Thursday. A victory could allow the Kerels to spend the short break outside the red zone. Hired for his ability to motivate and turn around a team, Yves Vanderhaeghe will not have much room for maneuver.
