The 2013/14 season for Club Brugge was one that left the fans happy but not overly impressed. They performed very well in the actual league, finishing in 2nd place behind Standard Liege, but they lacked their clinical touch in the Championship Playoff where they finished 3rd and clinched a Europa League 3rd Playoff round place.


Michel Preud'homme proved to be a good selection as manager of the club and he showed that he was not afraid to try something different if things were not working out and to give everyone, even the youngsters a chance. His signing of Matthew Ryan from Australian club Central Coast Mariners proved to be a terrific choice as he took a golden glove away from the season.


Michel Preud'homme has yet to make any real game changing pick-ups this summer but we can only expect more from him and Club Brugge as they aim for Champions League Football.

They will also be expecting to qualify into the Europa league group stages and progress through that. If all the tactics work well then you would think the Club Brugge have a real chance of a deep run in the Europa league.

Consistency is a key for a big season. At the start of last season it looked like they were going to run away with the title, but during the middle of the season they became inconsistent and they suffered.
