Ruud Vormer discusses coaching career and Club Brugge interest

Former Club Brugge captain Ruud Vormer has expressed his continued admiration for his former club and its current management. Vormer, who is currently coaching at Knokke, highlighted his respect for trainer Ivan Leko, specifically praising Leko's ability to push players daily and his leadership style.

Vormer revealed that he previously held discussions with Club Brugge regarding a potential role within their youth academy. Although an agreement was not reached, he stated that he would be open to listening if the club contacted him again.

Reflecting on his transition to coaching, Vormer noted the adjustment from being a direct leader on the pitch to managing player communication. Following a recent 0-3 defeat for Knokke against Merelbeke, Vormer emphasized the importance of intensity and physical duels, stating that technical skill alone is insufficient to win matches without the drive to compete for every ball.
