Belgian club Anderlecht fires coach and rehires Besnik Hasi to the end of the season

BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium’s most successful club, Anderlecht, has fired coach David Hubert and replaced him with Besnik Hasi until the end of the season.

Thursday's move came as the Belgian league enters its playoff phase. Anderlecht finished the regular season in fourth place.

The 53-year-old Hasi, who also coached teams in Poland, Greece and Saudi Arabia, is returning to Anderlecht after guiding the team to the league title in 2014. He also played for the Brussels team.

“I know this club and the expectations that come with it," he said. "It is a pleasure to once again lead the first team.”

Anderlecht won the most recent of its record 34 Belgian league titles in 2017.
