Executive Transactions

Scottish Premiership side Motherwell Chair BRIAN MCCAFFERTY is "to step down from his role at the end of the week." McCafferty has been the Well Society's representative on the club's board of directors for the last three years but "will now be replaced by another member of the supporters trust." McCafferty: "After three years, I feel the time is right to step down and allow someone else the chance to take my place on the Well Society board, which is something the rules try to facilitate" (HERALD SCOTLAND, 11/24). 

COACHES/MANAGERS: Belgian football side Oud-Herverlee Louvain "released its Manager JACKY MATHIJSSEN on Tuesday." He is the "4th coach the club has fired this season." Mathijssen "succeeded IVAN LEKO and HANS VANDER ELST." The club has not announced a new coach (LA MEUSE, 11/24). ... Paraguayan first division side Cerro Porteño coach ROBERTO TORRES resigned "after recent poor results." He made the decision after speaking with club President JUAN JOSÉ ZAPAG, who gave Torres no guarantees his contract "would be renewed at the end of the year" (DPA, 11/24). ... Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart "have sacked" Coach ALEXANDER ZORNIGER just 13 games into his three-year deal. In May, Stuttgart appointed Zorniger, "who was released from his duties at second-tier club RB Leipzig earlier in the year." Zorniger's assistant coaches -- ANDRE TRULSEN, ARMIN REUTERSHAHN and ANDREAS MENGER -- "have also been dismissed." JURGEN KRAMNY "has been appointed as caretaker coach," having worked with the club's U23 side since '11 (ESPN, 11/24).
