Jong Genk is looking for new technical staff: coach Hans Somers and assistant Hans Visser leave | Challenger Pro League

Hans Somers, who became champion with Lierse in 1997 as a player, started working for the Limburgers in 2018 as coach of the U18. In 2020 he was promoted to coach of the reserves, with which he enforced the title and promotion to the Challenger Pro League last year.

This season, however, things went a lot less well for the youngsters of Genk. After a ninth place in the regular season, Somers and his team managed to secure their retention only two match days before the end of the play-offs and finished in penultimate place with 26 points, only one more than relegated Virton.

In addition to Hans Somers, Jong Genk also waves goodbye to assistant coach Hans Visser. Genk plucked the Dutchman from NAC Breda last year. Between 2008 and 2015 he was also active with the Genk youth.

“In the coming weeks, the club will be looking for two successors to start preparing for the 2023-2024 season. The entire club would like to thank both coaches for their efforts and the work they have done,” said Jong Genk in a statement on the club website.
