KV Kortrijk dismissed head coach Michiel Jonckheere following a poor start to the Jupiler Pro League season, which left the club with zero points from eighteen possible. While initial reports suggested Jonckheere might have resigned, the coach denied this, stating the club’s board made the decision. Assistants Kurt Bataille, Markus Pflanz, and Christophe Lepoint were expected to oversee team operations in the interim.

Following the dismissal, the club began searching for a replacement. Potential candidates identified include Sven Vandenbroeck, Bernd Storck, and Marink Reedijk. Romanian manager Mircea Rednic, who has previous experience managing Belgian sides such as Standard Liege, Gent, and Mouscron, was also linked to the role. Hein Vanhaezebrouck was noted as a favorite for the position.
