With Thorsten Fink’s sacking, there’s no 🇧🇪 top flight coach from Jan 1 this year still in the same job. Or March 1.

And once more Santa brings his sack. A pity, really good manager but hadn’t been working out for Fink and Genk in recent weeks. So there’s a big vacancy now. If only there was a big name around to fill it. Oh wait.

More points dropped by Union St Gilloise, drawing 1-1 at Charleroi. It could have been worse - this late winner from Cheick Keita ruled out for offside. #CHAUSG

Charleroi’s 1st game under Hans Cornelis would have to come against leaders Union. 2 changes from their UCL loss to Marseille, Charleroi unchanged. Apart from the boss. Live on DAZN everywhere in 20. #CHAUSG

Four wins in five games for Antwerp and suddenly they’re gone from relegation fodder to a point off the title play-offs. No new boss bump for Gent. #GNTANT

Great team silver for Ireland in the senior men’s race. Jack O’Leary 5th, Brian Fay 10th, Cormac Dalton 11th, McElhinney 16th, Gidey 19th. A real credit, good strong team that. #EuroCross

Sint-Truiden lying 2nd in December for the first time since the millennium season. Last week’s win costing Club boss Nicky Hayen his job. Anderlecht after 4-0 loss at Westerlo trying to avoid more hazards, have Thorgan back from suspension. KO 2045 CET, 7:45 UK/Irl/GMT on DAZN international. #ANDSTV
