More changes at Leicester City’s sister club: Felice Mazzu sacked by OH Leuven | OneFootball

OH Leuven have announced that Felice Mazzu has been sacked. The former Anderlecht, Charleroi and Union St Gilloise head coach took over after David Hubert was surprisingly poached by Union despite OH Leuven sitting in the relegation play-off zone. Mazzu guided the side, who are a sister club of recently relegated Leicester City, away from the bottom four and clear of relegation. However, a poor showing in the play-offs seems to have resulted in the club looking to go in a different direction next season.

OH Leuven are well backed by their owners, but on the pitch this has not really translated into anything tangible. They have better facilities than most but continue to underperform year on year. At some point, this continued underperformance could lead to them slipping back into the second tier of Belgian football, a league that they and the Leicester City owners worked hard and spent plenty of money on getting out of.

This will be the second season in a row that the club are going to start with a new head coach. Whoever comes in will hopefully have the solution to the clubs ailing problems of poor recruitment and lack of goals. Like many other clubs in the Belgian Pro League, this looks set to be a big summer for OH Leuven and, coincidently, their sister club Leicester City.
