But for the rest, everything is possible. I’ve taken Coaching A and B courses, completed Pro League Business School, and grown our coffee brand…the options are many. »
Can Sint-Truiden dream?
For now, the goalkeeper is focusing on his contract with Club Brugge, which he wants to honor until it expires in 2026. Only then will he decide whether to extend it or not. his career.
In the event that Mignolet chooses to continue, a possible end to Sint-Truiden cannot be ruled out. The club that saw him blossom could dream of a return of the local boy. At 38, if he maintains a good level, Mignolet could complete the circle on the Stayen pitch. A possibility that is already making Limburg supporters dream. To be continued.
