Standard’s defeat once morest Seraing (0-2) on Friday broke the good Liège dynamic. She also prevented Ronny Deila from achieving a 19 of 30 in his first ten games on the rouche bench.
With such a record, the Norwegian would have had the best record of Standard’s last eight T1s. Instead, he must settle for third place, with 16 points collected out of 30, behind Michel Preud’homme (18 out of 30 in 2018/2019) and Philippe Montanier (18 out of 30 in 2020/2021). But Ronny Deila does better than his two predecessors, Luka Elsner (10 points out of 30) and Mbaye Leye (15 points out of 30).
As Standard is a club where nothing ever happens as elsewhere, it is difficult to predict the rest of the season given the results following ten games, when we know that Philippe Montanier had been sacked at Christmas following several weeks of cows lean, but that Ricardo Sa Pinto finished second in the Pro League behind Club Brugge following starting the season with a 12 out of 30.
But we can still conclude that Deila is rather in the high average as the new coach of the Rouches. Especially since he has one of the least qualitative numbers compared to his predecessors.
