“I look back on nine fantastic years at Blue-Black,” De Mil responds. “I have experienced wonderful moments both with the youth and with the first team. Club Brugge and its supporters will always remain part of my family, but I cannot pass up the opportunity to become head coach at a great team like KVC Westerlo. “I am taking up the challenge with great enthusiasm. This is not goodbye, but see you soon.”
De Mil now gets his chance as head coach at Westerlo. There he must succeed Jonas De Roeck, who had to leave at the beginning of December because he could not get his team on track this season. ‘Westel’, which won the cellar cracker at KV Kortrijk last weekend (1-2), is in fourteenth (out of sixteen) with fourteen points from seventeen games.
