After being thanked in Anderlecht on October 24, Felice Mazzu is back at Sporting de Charleroi. Already passed by the carolo club between 2013 and 2019, Mazzu succeeds Edward Still, thanked on October 22.
After leaving Charleroi in 2019, Mazzu, 56, went through Genk, Union Saint-Gilloise then Anderlecht where he was dismissed the day after the Clasico stopped on the ground of Standard.
Between 2013 and 2019, the Carolo allowed the Zebras to play in the playoffs 1 three times and to play in the preliminary rounds of the Europa League during the 2015-2016 season. In his first term, he led 259 Sporting matches with a record of 108 wins, 66 draws and 85 losses.
In 2019, he left Charleroi for Genk but was dismissed after five months in Limburg, for lack of results. Mazzu then bounced back to Union Saint-Gilloise, which he led to the D1B title during the 2020-2021 season and then to a surprising 2nd place behind Club Brugge last season.
Last summer, Mazzu took over from Vincent Kompany in Anderlecht but was dismissed on October 24 when the Mauves were 12th with 16 points out of 42 after 14 days and a Clasico stopped at Standard by the fault of the supporters anderlechtois unhappy while their team was trailing 3-1.
For his second stint with the Zèbres, the Carolo technician has signed an indefinite contract and will work with the staff already in place, including Frank Defays who will still be acting on Saturday evening against Mechelen in the league.
Mazzu will take over the group from November 28 to prepare for the second part of the championship after the World Cup with a first match against… Anderlecht at the end of December.
