Eymael gives suitors a week to make offers

Free State Stars coach Luc Eymael has given teams who are said to be after his services until next Friday to make him offers or they should forget about him.


Speaking after guiding Ea Lla Koto to their first trophy in 24 years, Eymael said he would be in the country until Friday and if he leaves without any offer he would be coming back to the Bethlehem based side.

The 58-year-old Belgian has been linked with moves to Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United but he has consistently said the teams have not spoken to him.

“I have two offers from Belgium. I would like to return to Belgium but it would be for a team I can compete for top five with. No local team have contacted me as yet. If nobody comes with any offer this week then I will come back to Free State Stars. That’s what I promised the chairman and I am a man of my word,” said Eymael.
