Match26 Aug 2026

The small margins put Zulte Waregem out

Out, 0‑1 to KAA Gent, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match29 Aug 2026

The wait goes on for Zulte Waregem

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Zulte Waregem

Brent Gabriel was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Marley Aké runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Jakob Kiilerich

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jakob Kiilerich, and the manager let it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Lukas Willen is still paying for one afternoon at Zulte Waregem

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Zulte Waregem pick somebody else ahead of Tobias Hedl

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match29 Aug 2026

Zulte Waregem and Racing Genk cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Racing Genk came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Market31 Aug 2026

Yannick Cappelle placed on the list

Zulte Waregem have made Yannick Cappelle available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Market24 Aug 2026

Zulte Waregem turn down Charleroi for Joseph Opoku

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Malick Mbaye

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market24 Aug 2026

Nikola Mituljikić puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Zulte Waregem, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Zulte Waregem's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Zulte Waregem has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Brent Gabriel in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Zulte Waregem this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Zulte Waregem training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jakob Kiilerich is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market10 Aug 2026

Charleroi come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Zulte Waregem did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Brent Gabriel stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Brent Gabriel and Zulte Waregem agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Zulte Waregem

Brent Gabriel was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Thomas Claes gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match8 Aug 2026

KAA Gent take the points off Zulte Waregem

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Joseph Opoku runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
