    On the bench for a 2-0 win over Beerschot. Massive win to put the team further from the bottom two teams in the prospective relegation playoffs.

    Played the last 34' of a 3-2 loss to OHL. A win would have moved them out of the relegation playoffs. Got off a good shot right after getting on the field.

    It will be really interesting to see what Zahiroleslam does in the summer. His contract with St. Truiden will be up.

    He was an unused substitute for the team as the won at Beerschot 0-1 and helped to condemn that team to relegation in the Relegation playoffs 1st round. St. Truiden is now in the top of the table and safe from relegation for the moment.

    So St. Truiden was defeated 0-3 by Kortrijk this past weekend. They fired their manager today. Instead of being safe from automatic relegation, they are no in a world of hurts. One name that surfaced as Hernan Losada. Who knows what awaits the last four matches. They still have a 4 point lead over Kortrijk, but now they find themselves behind Cercle Brugge. Who knows what this means for Zahiroleslam.

    Has been stuck on the bench. Contract expires in June, so maybe returns to MLS.

    Since his injury he has only played 51 min. I would not be surprised if he is on the move this summer. Technically, it would not be "back" to MLS as he never played there, but I get the feeling he will try for another club in Europe first.

    On the bench for a massive match vs Beerschot. If they win, they can not be automatically relegated.

    Last match of the season. St. Truiden is in the top spot, and playing Kortrijk who is relegated. A win keeps them in the JPL for next season.

    He is on the bench. This could be his last match with St. Truiden as his contract ends this summer.

    Got 9 min in their 2-2 draw. St. Truiden is safe and will plan in the JPL next season.

    He played the final 10 minutes and was fine, creating 1 very good chance and fluffing one shot from distance. No clue where he will go, but he seems good enough to play at this level. if i were him, i'd try and stay here if i were him

    An injury kept him out of 11 matches in a row.

    I checked St.Truiden's roster and here is the status of all of the striker's on their roster

    Joselpho Barnes - Entering 3rd year of his contract, is a backup and I think he's been injured since December. Even before he was injured, he was 3rd string striker

    Adriano Bertaccini - Finished the season as the league's top scorer, wouldn't be surprised if he's sold to a bigger club

    Andrés Ferrari - His loan at St.Truiden ends and he's going back to Villarreal

    Kahveh Zahiroleslam - Out of contract

    Hiiro Komori - His loan at St.Truiden ends and he's going back to JEF United. Chiba in Japan

    Jay-David Mbalanda - Just turned 18 and only played 19 minutes all season



    It seems like the only striker who actually plays that has a strong chance of staying is Joselpho Barnes, who was 3rd string behind Kahveh and Bertaccini before he got hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if Kahveh gets a contract extension

    I think Bertaccini has come out and said that he wants to be somewhere else next season.

    Bertaccini is likely on his way to Anderlecht. As shown by @bose03 either St Truiden will have essentially all new forwards, there is a place for Zahiroleslam.

    Looks like he might be on his way out.
    "The rescue was achieved at the last minute, but that does not mean that peace has returned to Limburg. Wouter Vrancken, who was brought in as a trainer to shape the sporting project in the long term, can expect a heavy reconstruction.

    Six players have an expiring contract. Among them Bruno Godeau, Olivier Dumont, Kahveh Zahiroleslam, Joselpho Barnes and Didier Lamkel Zé – who already announced his departure via social media. Their chances of renewal are estimated as zero. Youngster Tristan Teuchy is also leaving the club: he already signed with Dessel Sport.

    Mercenaries and million-dollar choices
    Of the three current mercenaries – Bilal Brahimi, Hiiro Komori and Andrés Ferrari – only Ferrari seems to be eligible for a longer stay. But that file is not easy either: STVV would have to pay 2.5 million euros to exercise the purchase option of the Uruguayan attacker.

    Interest in tastemakers
    There is also great interest in a few key players. Adriano Bertaccini – joint top scorer of the competition – is in high demand. Anderlecht and Union are said to be interested, as are foreign clubs.

    Joel Fujita and Ryotaro Ito are also attracting foreign interest. For Fujita, the Bundesliga in particular would be an option. Loïc Lapoussin, Zineddine Belaïd, Rein Van Helden and Rihito Yamamoto are also open to a departure.

    Work ahead
    If all these players effectively leave, a third of the core would disappear. But according to HBVL, that does not have to be a drama: the selection has rarely been convincing this season, and a thorough investigation is required anyway.

    For CEO Takayuki Tateishi and sporting director Andre Pinto it will be a busy summer mercato. And for Vrancken a challenging chapter starts in Stayen."

    He will not be getting a new contract.

    "The club decided not to extend the expiring contracts of Bruno Godeau, Olivier Dumont, Kahveh Zahiroleslam, Joselpho Barnes, Tristan Teuchy and Jules Bieghs . In addition, the Canaries are also saying goodbye to loan players Billal Brahimi, Hiiro Komori and Didier Lamkel Zé . “The football landscape changes quickly. This is accompanied by annual changes, and so you also have to say goodbye regularly. It was a tough year, we shouldn't be coy about that. But by forming a unit, we ultimately managed to secure our place in the first division. I would like to thank the players involved for their contribution to this.”
