Standard is working hard to prepare for the 2024-2025 season and for this it will be necessary to strengthen Ivan Leko’s staff. Two names are currently on the table.
Standard is actively preparing for the 2024-2025 season after the resounding failure of the 2023-2024 financial year. Management is therefore working on all sides to overcome the various problems.
And this applies both to the team and to Ivan Leko’s staff, which will therefore experience some changes during the offseason. There is already one certainty: José Jeunechamps will stay at the club given that he has one year left on his contract.
According to information from the newspaper Le Soir, he could be offered to take over SL16 FC which was relegated from Challenger Pro League to Nationale 1.
Still according to the daily, Bernd Thijs should meet the club’s management to discuss a possible extension of his contract which runs until the end of the current season.
Adnan Custovic to assist Ivan Leko at Standard
Finally, Ivan Leko could bring back a former Jupiler Pro League coach whom he took with him to China during his time at Shanghai SIPG.
Thus, the name of Adnan Custovic would circulate in the corridors of Sclessin in order to accompany Leko as an assistant as he did in China or at Hajduk Split.
But that’s not all since the name of Edward Still would also be on the table. However, the latter would not be really excited about the project given the club’s situation, specifies Le Soir.
