The Belgian said: “It felt appropriate to sign for the next five years because Burnley and Turf Moor felt right pretty much from the start.
“With the support of the supporters, we have reclaimed Turf Moor as a fortress, and we continue to look forward to the future and the task of improving Burnley with each step.”

He is a wonderful match for how Burnley Football Club should proceed, in our opinion. “A remarkable leader, raising the bar constantly and guiding our club to the heights we all aspire to.”
