Even if he discovered the specificities of D2 ACFF and more particularly of Brussels football, Alan Haydock quickly found the right formula to turn around a team in complete disarray. Strong choices, a unifying speech and a new mentality infused, Alan Haydock quickly imposed his mark. “I've never been one to take the easiest challenges. When I arrived in November, I knew the mission would be complicated but I wanted to see it through. The club was going through a tense situation and I think my calm and patient side helped to calm things down on several levels. While making strong and sometimes difficult decisions,” explains the FC Ganshoren coach.
Alan Haydock talks about his arrival in Ganshoren: “A return to his roots, in Brussels”
Ganshore's new momentum has been confirmed over the weeks, to the point that today, his team is on the verge of confirming its retention in D2 ACFF. “The victory acquired this Sunday against Tournai allows us to breathe a sigh of relief. With four days to go, we have practically secured our position and we will be keen to finish the season well.”
I like stability and working for the long term.
If there is not much missing for the maintenance of thirst to be effective, Alan Haydock has already announced that he will extend the adventure at Ganshoren next season. “I feel good in this club. And then I'm not a globetrotter. I'm not someone who changes clubs every season. I like stability and working for the long term.”
By starting the season, Alan Haydock will have time to build a squad that reflects his image. And the coach already knows in which direction he wants to go. “The most important thing is to maintain the backbone of the team. This is why we have already sat down at the table with several players. We are banking on continuity with 4-5 arrivals maximum.”
