“Much of what has been written in the past week is simply not correct”, Deila debunked the reports about a possible switch to Club Brugge at the press conference in Westerlo last weekend.
“I never received a proposal, there is no contact between the clubs.”
Punishment, because now the deal between Deila and blue-black is suddenly done.
On Thursday morning, Standard already announced that the cooperation was stopped with immediate effect, Deila informed the group of players about this.
A blow to the fans of Standard, because under the reign of Deila, the Rouches revived with fresh football and a place in the Europe play-offs.
At Club Brugge, Deila has to breathe life into a tired team again, because the blue-black had a disappointing season. Assistant Efrain Juarez also makes the switch.
“Club contacted Standard on Wednesday to arrange the transfer of Deila and Juarez for a financial fee,” de Rouches said in a statement.
Peter Vandenbempt already spoke in Extra Time and De Tribune on Monday about Deila’s imminent departure from Standard.
Our journalist was then disappointed that the coach flatly denied the rumors.
“Deila has not spoken the truth,” said Vandenbempt. “That’s a great pity. Look, as a trainer you don’t have to go along with rumors, but don’t deny them either. Because then you’re lying.”
“I understand that Deila was in a difficult situation. He resurrected Standard, was the first coach to provide a certain consistency, built a reputation at home again and was very connected to the public. I understand that you can see your last match at Sclessin trying to survive, but don’t start lying.”
