Westerlo finished the season in eighth place. The club had a small chance to qualify for the play-off for the last European ticket, but ultimately had to part ways with coach Timmy Simons.

What happened?

Westerlo had a better season than the previous year, but the board's expectations were higher. The club did not hesitate to spend money and the new coach will be under pressure to perform more than Simons.

Player of the season

Dogucan Haspolat was a consistent performer for Westerlo. The 25-year-old Turkish midfielder scored three goals and provided seven assists in 39 games.

Young player of the season

Luka Vuskovic is a talented player of Tottenham. The 18-year-old Croatian central defender scored seven goals in two games and has a great future ahead of him.

Summer needs

Westerlo needs to find a replacement for Matija Frigan, who scored 13 goals. The club will likely sign young talent, as they do every summer. Finding a coach who can help the players develop will be key for the board.
