Union Saint-Gilloise hire to a model, not to a mood. If your edge is player pathways, clarity of roles, and a stable game model, then the head coach is a node in a well-run system. Hubert’s mixed headline record matters less than his fit for how USG actually win: developing talent, accelerating young players, and executing repeatable principles week after week.

Exactly. The model needed an explanation.

They must have had him on their radar before Poco left. “We didn’t rush into this” they say above, but it can’t have been much more than 24 hours from Poco’s announcement to Hubert’s appointment.

But what do I know? I was disappointed in Poco’s appointment but then was spectacularly and brilliantly proved wrong.

Yes...he was on the list.
