Fink is very surprised about the future of KRC Genk

Thorsten Fink is a bull’s eye at KRC Genk for the time being. The German coach already impressed at Sint-Truiden VV and became the successor to Wouter Vrancken, who left for KAA Gent, on the other side of Limburg.

KRC Genk is booming in the Jupiler Pro League and is the authoritarian leader of the competition. The derby against STVV, coach Fink’s ex-club, awaits on Sunday. Opposite Sporza he spoke clearly and honestly about his ambitions and future at KRC Genk.

Surprising statements

According to Fink, he always tries to be honest. He makes no secret of his ambitions. With KRC Genk, the Champions Play-Offs this season is a goal to reach European football. “Look, personally I also have my goals. Then it is not in my nature to just say no. I always want to be honest. If I can’t be honest, I prefer to say nothing.”

However, Fink is surprising about his future. “I just got here and have no intentions of leaving here anytime soon. I’m at a club with a great philosophy and I feel good here. Why couldn’t I stay here for 10 years? My son is just finishing school, so We face some issues. Will they come here? Does he want to go to America to study? That will depend on how comfortable I am here.”

Derby fever is rising

The Limburg derby between KRC Genk and STVV is on the program on Sunday afternoon. Last season, Fink was on the yellow side of Limburg and drew twice against KRC Genk, 3-3 and 1-1. This time Fink is the head coach of the home team. Just before the international match, KRC Genk surprisingly lost to KV Kortrijk. It is still in the lead in the JPL with 22 points from ten matches.
