Eerder vandaag kwam het bericht dat STVV vandaag nog in Japanse handen zou komen. Dit werd ontkracht door STVV, waarop enkele uren later de huidige trainer  Bartolomé ontslagen werd.

Volgens Yahoo is de nieuwe coach van Sibt-Truiden al bekend: Mr Masahiro Shimoda (50). 

Hieronder volgt een stukje van de letterlijke vertaling:

Mr. Masahiro Shimoda (50), who served as the former technical chairman of the Japan Football Association, took over as the coach of Shintotroiden from August on the 31st of August, according to stakeholder story.

 

He joined the Japan Association in 2009 after having coached by F Tokyo, Chiba etc. He served as U-20 representative director, technical chairman and so on.
