Head coach of KAA Gent - Belgium/Argentina
A frustrating evening in Bruges where we kept running behind the facts... A point is all we could take home against #CercleBrugge On to the next one! #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeague

#FCVDender def didn't came to #Gent for a point! Kudos to them, though game but we fought hard and even with a red card for us we managed to keep the win against a team that was higher than us in the standings. Happy coach 🥰 #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeague

Solid win at the Bosuil, mature play from my squad. Never an easy game against #Antwerp so as a coach I can only be happy with these 3 points #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeague

8th in the #JupilerProLeague after 6 games. Not happy, not unhappy. Keep in mind we already had big games against Anderlecht, Union and Bruges. We keep working to reach our goal of top 6 and European football next season 💪

Sadly no victory at home against our rival #ClubBrugge tactical game that could've end up both ways, it went their way today. #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeague

Delighted to go home with 3 points from @rscanderlecht.bsky.social 2-0 behind but my players proved to be real warriors and knocked themselves back into the game 💪 Scoring 4 in Lotto Park is not something much teams can do #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeague

A blatant off-day in #Mechelen results in a 3-2 defeat... No excuses, our performance was piss poor today. Sorry to all our fans who went to #Mechelen to see this sad display. Straightening our backs now, on to the next one... #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeage

It wasn't our day against #Union, conceded our first defeat of the season. #Union always hard opponent to play against but our play was good and even had the better chances (backed by xG). Too inefficient today and came 2 strokes of geniality from #Boufal #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeague

Huge news from Planet Group Arena, Eric Abidal (ex #Barcelona) signed for #KAAGent as our new Director of Football. Eric will oversee the clubs football operations, going from player recruitment, youth academy and staff management. Enormous amount of football knowledge coming to #KAAGent

2nd game, 2nd win for the #Buffalo's! We were in control for the whole game but it wasn't easy breaking #RAAL La Louviere's low block. Surdez once again important with the only goal in this game #COBW #AllezAG #JupilerProLeague

Happy to kick off the season with a splendid victory at #STVV never an easy game at Stayen, my boys handled it well. #Surdez MVP with 2 assists. Promising start! #COBW #AllezAG

I can confirm I appointed Siebe Van der Heyden as new team captain of #KAAGent and Matisse Samoise as vice-captain. Not because I'm unhappy with Roef but I like my captain not to be a goalkeeper because it restricts captaincy a lot.

To me a 4-2-3-1 is the best formation to get the best out of every player. Like I said before pre-season was too short to get my players adapt to the tactic wise. Team not ready. Asked the board to have patience until end of September.

Game against #Napoli was interesting. Exhibition game at our home for our fans, #Napoli was a big opponent and quickly scored 3. A switch to 3-4-3 formation stopped their tempo & made us score 2 redeeming goals in 2nd half. Learned a lot from today

Wished for more time to prepare my squad but we had to do it with 4 friendlies. Results ok but there was no real test against similair opponent. Players look fit which is most important in the end, but we need more time to adapt tactic wise
