Words exchanged at Eupen
Giovanni Haag and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Words at Eupen training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Merveille Bokadi 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.
Squad7 Dec 2026
Mark Müller stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Mark Müller and Eupen agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Boardroom7 Dec 2026
$3.1M on the table at Eupen
The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Nicolas Gavory makes the team of the month
Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
The dugout7 Dec 2026
No hiding place for Julian Renner
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Julian Renner, and the manager let it.

Jaden Malhage gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jaden Malhage is on it.

The Marco Hiller question follows Eupen around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Marco Hiller’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
The dugout7 Dec 2026
No place in the plan for Yanis Musuayi
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
In brief
- The dugout Amadou Keita has been promised minutes
- Looking ahead Eupen travel to Lommel
- Boardroom Eupen board back the manager
