Lenie Onzia becomes head coach of the Red Flames despite lack of experience
Published
The Belgian Football Association has chosen Lenie Onzia as the new head coach of the Red Flames, Belgium's national women's football team. Onzia is 37 years old. She has no experience yet as head coach of a senior team.
Still, the choice fell on her. She was selected from about 35 candidates. That is a large number, and it shows that the association looked at many options before making a decision.
The newspaper De Standaard links this appointment to the so-called 'Club Brugge model'. According to the paper, the football association now seems to be following a similar approach to that of the club from Bruges, in which inexperienced coaches can also get a chance.
For the Red Flames, a new period under the leadership of a young and inexperienced coach thus begins. How successful this choice will be will become clear in the coming time.
