From the beginning, he put forward new ideas about using technology &amp; data in football. Now, the results of this new approach are very clear. ?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ember9435\" class=\"ember-view\"> Part of this new philosophy includes the use of <\/span><a id=\"ember9439\" class=\"tap-target feed-shared-text-view__mention ember-view\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/soccerlab-gmbh\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-entity-hovercard-id=\"urn:li:fs_miniCompany:857665\" data-entity-type=\"MINI_COMPANY\">SoccerLAB<\/span><\/a><span id=\"ember9443\" class=\"ember-view\"> as a central data platform.

It\u2019s also worth mentioning that the clubs transfer profits have rocketed in the past few years from 4 million in 2015 to 24 million in 2019 according to the club\u2019s official numbers. ? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ember9443\" class=\"ember-view\">As for their performance, Club Brugge hasn\u2019t finished outside of the top 2 in the Jupiler Pro League since 2015.
