HNB are reporting that OH Leuven sporting director Gyorgy Csepregi has turned down a move to the City Group. The former Beerschot man had been approached by the City Football Group to take over as the sporting director of Palermo or New York City FC. Instead, Csepregi has decided to remain with OH Leuven, a side he has a contract with until 2027. OH Leuven are linked through ownership to Leicester City.

Csepregi has had mixed results in his role at OH Leuven since 2024. Not many of his signings have fully come off, with the side still struggling in the Belgian Pro League despite having the infrastructure and finances in place to be more competitive. He earned the OH Leuven role after helping Beerschot win promotion to the Pro League on a shoestring budget in the second tier.

The City Football Group are certainly aware of the situation in Belgian football and the second tier. They have been in control of Lommel for some seasons now.
