There have already been several coaching sackings in the Jupiler Pro League this season, and there is currently another coach in the danger zone.

Namely, Ivan Leko. The current coach of Standard Liege has not been convincing so far and has received a lot of criticism, especially when he brought in a youth product from Standard and his reaction was not nice.

Through these actions, he gained little popularity with both Standard's supporters and the club's board of directors. There have already been speculations here and there about an early departure for the Croatian. But he didn't want to know about that right now.

“Things can change quickly, but I will always be clear about that,” Leko told SudPresse of Deila's questionable departure speech. “For now, I'm happy here and I see myself staying. With a better staff, better selection, better management…everything that can improve must improve. I will commit more than 100% so that we can make Standard possible. Achieving a future “Better, I'm sure of that too.”

It is therefore clear that Leko himself is not currently considering an early exit. Although he would have to be careful about this, since he had not succeeded immediately since his appointment. He managed to secure the save, but that's where it ends.
