For Peter Vandenbempt, the resignation of Mbaye Leye from Standard is not a big surprise.
“Friday against KV Mechelen was certainly such a match by Standard, after which the curtain falls for a trainer in football.”
“It was a pitiful performance from Standard before half-time. There has been a lack of a clear game system in the game for weeks.”
“After the game there was the remarkable discourse of Mbaye Leye, a very sensible person. He criticized his players and the way Standard works over a problem that has dragged on for years.”
“Barely veiled criticism of the board, criticism of a lack of quality to perform at a level that a club like Standard should achieve. It was the discourse of a trainer who no longer held back.”

“Leye kept saying that he was the right man to get Standard back on the right path,” says Vandenbempt.
“But the players who have not performed on the field for a while, found it necessary to gossip behind the back of the trainer about his ego and about unflattering nicknames.”
“The dismissal of Leye is not the solution to all the problems in Liège.”
“Trainers in need will look anxiously at their smartphones during such an international break in the coming days. Then I also think of Francky Dury in Waregem. Maybe also Yves Vanderhaeghe in Bruges and Ronald Koeman maybe in Barcelona.”
