The Belgian U21 are saying goodbye to a familiar face in the technical staff. Goalkeeping coach Bram Castro leaves the national promises to work at Club Brugge, where he will join Ivan Leko’s staff. At the Royal Belgian Football Association people responded to his departure with understanding and appreciation.
The KBVB did not fail to expressly thank Bram Castro for his work with the U21. “We would like to thank Bram for his efforts, professionalism and contribution to the development of our young goalkeepers,” an official statement said. In the past period, Castro was part of the staff around the promises and played a role in the guidance of several talented goalkeepers.
The move to Club Brugge means a new step in his career for Castro. At Blauw-Zwart he will work with Ivan Leko, who will further shape his technical staff. The association also considered this. “We wish him good luck in this new challenge and look forward to his further career in Belgian football,” the KBVB said.
Looking for a successor
In the meantime, the Belgian U21 is already looking ahead. The Sports Department will not act hastily. “The Sports Department will take the necessary time to look for a successor and ensure that our promise keepers continue to receive optimal guidance in the future.” Continuity in the training of young goalkeepers remains a clear priority.
