It is as an analyst that Hein Vanhaezebrouck took stock of the past year in the Pro League. He was won over by two coaches with whom he crossed swords a few months ago.
For Het Nieuwsblad, Hein Vanhaezebrouck risked the perilous exercise of building his ideal eleven for 2024. It was therefore also necessary to appoint a coach. HVH did not show up himself: “It was not possible after a complicated half-season with La Gantoise.
Vanhaezebrouck could not decide on a single name: he chose Nicky Hayen (Club Brugge) and Throsten Fink (Genk): “I really can’t choose between the two.”
The coaches of the first two ranked…but that’s not all
And again, other coaches also caught his eye: “Jonas De Roeck, Besnik Hasi, David Hubert and Alexander Blessin deserve honorable mentions”.
But he couldn’t miss the immediate impact of the two award-winning coaches: “Thorsten Fink played great football with Sint-Truiden, a team where it is not realistic to hope to win a prize.” The result was just as impressive in Genk.
“I also cannot ignore everything Hayen has done in 2024” continues Hein Vanhazebrouck. The Club was 19 points behind the Union at the end of the classic phase…19. In addition to winning the title, he is also doing great things in the Champions League, hats off.”
