"Brugge" sacked head coach © EuroFootball.com

Club holding the fifth place in this season's Belgian league announced that they have dismissed head coach Emilio Ferrera, who led the team for the second season, and appointed Cedomir Jenevski to this position.

After a weekend failure in the Belgian league match against "Roeselare", the team's sports director Marc Degryse submitted his resignation to the club's management. His request was granted at the club's management meeting on Sunday. Degryse has held these positions in the team since 2003. Previously, as a player, he represented "Brugge" for a long time, from 1984 to 1990.

At the same meeting, the club's management also decided to terminate the contracts with head coach Emilio Ferrera and his assistant Frank Van der Elst. 39-year-old Ferrera has been coaching the club since the spring of 2006, when he replaced the dismissed Jan Ceulemans in that position, but last season in the Belgian league managed to finish only in the 3rd place with the team.

This season, the team performed even worse and now, having failed to secure a victory in four consecutive matches in the Belgian championship, they are in just the 5th place, trailing the leaders "Genk" by 12 points. Furthermore, the club, finishing last in the group, has already withdrawn from the UEFA Europa League tournament.

45-year-old Jenevski has also previously played for the "Brugge" club and worked as a youth team coach until 2005, later moving to work as an assistant coach for the first team at Piraeus "Olympiacos". The Macedonian worked at the Greek club this season as well, but left the team at the beginning of January this year.
