Former Celtic head coach Ronny Deila finds himself out of a job once again, having been ousted as the head honcho of Club Brugge in the Belgian Pro League.
Deila bid farewell to Brugge as they languished in 4th place, a massive 19 points adrift of league toppers Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Their recent stumble against mid-table side Sint-Truidense VV proved to be the breaking point, as a promising lead wilted into a disheartening 2-1 defeat, sealing Deila’s fate.
His departure hardly raised eyebrows, considering his recent outburst over internal leaks that soured his working environment, dealing a blow to his coaching efforts.
The ignominious end to Deila’s Brugge tenure was cemented by a terse club statement neglecting to acknowledge his service. The announcement on the team’s official website declared the parting of ways with Deila, alongside his assistants Efrain Juarez and Kristof Aelbrecht, citing the team’s underwhelming performances as the trigger for the decision.
Looking ahead, Club Brugge is on the hunt for a fresh head coach to lead them into the upcoming season. In the interim, Nicky Hayen from Club NXT steps into the breach, assisted by Michiel Jonckheere and other existing staff members, with the goal of engineering a turnaround in fortunes for the team.
