Nicky Hayen has been a coach at Club Brugge since 2022, first at Club NXT and in 2024 he took over the first team of Club Brugge, when Club was in difficulties. He led Club to a title, the cup and the Super Cup.
Club Brugge has had a hard time in recent weeks: it only managed 3 out of 12, losing at Sint-Truiden and at home against Antwerp. In the Champions League, Club Brugge still achieved decent figures against top teams such as Barcelona, but Club Brugge is not sure of the next round either.
