Carl Hoefkens is under fire in Liège. After the recent three out of fifteen and the weak match against STVV, his future with the Rouches is uncertain. The Liège board will soon decide whether Hoefkens can stay on.
December 28, 2022. One year ago today, Carl Hoefkens was fired as coach of Club Brugge. Bad memories for the Standard coach.
In 2023, Hoefkens is under fire in Liège. The recent three out of fifteen – and the fact that the club is only just above the relegation zone – does not speak in his favor. Moreover, football is deteriorating. Standard only played really well on the Anderlecht field.

But against, say, KV Mechelen and on Wednesday evening against STVV, the Rouches played poorly. Without ideas, without creativity, without inspiration.
The Liège board undoubtedly sees this too. They will soon – today, already? – consider Hoefkens’ future. Weigh the pros and cons and see if he is still the right man in the right place. After the 1-1 on Wednesday evening, Zinho Vanheusden said: “There is no trainer problem, everyone has to look in the mirror. It is not the coach who is responsible, but the players.”
Hoefkens himself gave a signal to his board. “More quality is needed. I am very happy that the transfer ban has been lifted.” He still thinks he can give the Rouches new impetus.
But do his bosses think so too?
