Miron Muslic is no longer the coach of Cercle de Bruges. News that would have deeply saddened the core… but also the supporters, who defended the Austrian coach body and soul.
Tuesday morning, the day after his dismissal, Miron Muslic took leave of the group of Cercle de Bruges players. For many supporters present, his dismissal is an incomprehensible choice.
“It’s the darkest day of my life as a fan. I’ve been a fan for 69 years, but it’s the darkest day,” Roland, a fan, told the local television station Focus/WTV. The 12th man clearly held Music in high regard, even despite recent poor results.
To hear them, the Austrian is a victim of circumstances. The squad was too reduced after the successful season, with all the consequences that entails, combined with the large number of injured players.
The management of the Circle increasingly targeted by supporters
The fault lies with the committee, according to them. “I’ll even name him, Vromant. I think he’s already done a lot of damage here. His transfers too. But now he’s going to put the feather in his cap for those 16 million with Denkey.”
“He should have replaced the men who left, like Lemarechal and Lopez, with experienced men. We see that the midfield is not performing well at the moment,” they add.
It is possible that the decision to dismiss Music was made earlier. According to supporters, his replacement could already have been presented on Friday, and the Cercle management waited to know his name before making its decision. But, for the moment, we still don’t know who will be the man sitting on the Groen & Zwart bench in a week’s time.
