Ferdinand Feldhofer takes over coaching posts at Cercle Bruges!

The Styrian football coach Ferdinand Feldhofer has made a spectacular change from Dinamo Tbilisi in Georgia to Cercle Bruges' coaching bench in Belgium. This happened surprisingly after his time in Georgia ended prematurely after only 25 competitive games with eight wins, six draws and eleven defeats. Feldhofer took over the management of the traditional Georgian club in June and now had to accept a bitter defeat in the penalty shootout in the Cup final, which gave him his dream of a first major international title, such as krone.at reported.

in Bruges, Feldhofer will succeed Miron Muslic, who was released at the beginning of December due to the sporting descent of his team, which is currently only in 15th place. The new trainer signed a contract until the end of the season with an option for the following 2025/26 season. "During our conversations, it immediately became clear that we had the same ideas about football and the way of playing," said Feldhofer in agreement and is confident that he can successfully lead the team. The change of coach is particularly important, since Feldhofer is the third Austrian coach in a row at Cercle Bruges, according to Dominik Thalhammer and Muslic, like Kleinezeitung.at reported.

Feldhofer can hardly wait to get to know every player and employee of the club, as there are many decisive games in the coming weeks. The first test is already waiting on Thursday with a Conference League match against Olimpija Laibach, which takes place near his Styrian homeland. This change marks a new section in Felhofer’s career and brings a breath of fresh air to the Belgian league.
