Crisis at Ajax Conference League opponent: Sint-Truiden fires coach

Belgian football club Sint-Truiden has fired head coach Frédéric De Meyer due to lackluster results in the domestic league. Assistant coach Sepp De Roover has been appointed to lead the team on an interim basis ahead of their upcoming Conference League match against Ajax.

Belgian football club Sint-Truiden has dismissed head coach Frédéric De Meyer following a string of poor results. The team currently sits in fifteenth place in the domestic league, having secured only two victories in their opening ten matches. Their most recent defeat was a 2-1 loss against OH Leuven, a game marked by standout saves from opposing goalkeeper Dani van den Heuvel. Assistant coach Sepp De Roover, formerly a player for several Dutch clubs including Sparta and FC Groningen, will manage the team on an interim basis.

Despite their struggles in the domestic league, Sint-Truiden has performed well in the Conference League, accumulating six points from two matches. This European campaign includes upcoming fixtures against Ajax, who are scheduled to travel to Belgium on December 10. Prior to that encounter, Ajax must complete matches against FC Midtjylland and FC Thun. The club is now tasked with stabilizing the squad under De Roover's leadership to prepare for the challenges ahead.
