New OH-Leuven coach Marc Brys is delighted to have taken the job.

OHL are owned by Leicester City chairman Aiywatt Srivaddhanaprabha and act as a sister club to the Premier League outfit.

Brys chose OHL over the Cercle Brugge job and revealed, "I made an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the club. The strengths convinced me. There is enormous potential here.

"OHL is a stable club, the playing fields and other accommodations, the technical data: all worthy of more than first class. In addition, OHL can rely on the know-how of Leicester City.

"After talking to CEO Peter Willems and TD Wim De Corte, I knew that I could do a good job here. And after an in-depth video conversation with President Aiywatt Srivaddhanaprabha, I was completely convinced. A man with passion and a heart for his club, who knows everything about OHL and who has a vision.

"He asked me difficult to-the-point questions. I want to help realise his ambitions with this club."
