The Close Call: How Ronny Deila almost got sacked earlier in the season at Club Brugge

Ronny Deila will therefore not have finished the season at Club Brugge. But he could have already been ejected much earlier.

As soon as the calendar was released, the date October 8 was written in bold by Standard supporters, eager to shout out their way of thinking about their former coach Ronny Deila on the occasion of the visit of Club Bruges.

Isaac Price’s goal in the last minute of regulation time had made Sclessin capsize, happy to thumb his nose at the man who had left him in a hurry. Some supporters had even come to dream of a dismissal the same day in the heart of the cauldron after the series of a victory in six games for the Club.

And the scenario almost happened. Humo thus reveals that Club Brugge took information at the end of the match to fire its coach by contacting Karel Geraerts.

But the former Union Saint-Gilloise coach had already given his agreement to Schalke and signed the next day in Germany. Which offered Deila a reprieve until the end of the classic phase.

Questioned on this subject by Humo, Geraerts contented himself with “I don’t know” which did not convince many people. It must be said that the subject is always sensitive: since the departure of Deila, the name of Karel Geraerts has come up again insistently at the Jan Breydelstadion.
