Today, Friday 13th June, K.Lierse S.K. and Charlie Miller have come to a mutual agreement over the annulment of his contract with the club.
A legal agreement was made,  which consisted of Lierse buying out the remaining two years of Lierse’s contract.
Both Lierse and Charlie Miller wish to emphasize that the departure is taking place with no animosity.

Chairman Leo Theyskens: “The club, and especially myself are especially grateful to Charlie for what he has meant to us. In the short time in which he was here, he has made un unforgettable impression on us and our supporters.
But it was too difficult for him. He misses his family, especially his children. He wants to go back to Scotland, where he will look for a club and where he’ll begin training to be a coach. We’re separating as friends.”

Charlie Miller: “Of course I find it as shame to leave this club. I’ve had a fantastic time here. I’ll never forget how I’ve been welcomed here by the players, the board and especially the supporters of this beautiful club. I’ll always cherish Lierse deep in my heart and I’ll definitely come back to see a few matches. It’s never nice to leave, but I know that I’m only leaving behind friends. That’s a blessing.”

Neel De Ceulaer, Sporting Manager: “Charlie was one of the stars of Lierse, and also of the League. But Charlie also understands that the club’s ambitions extend further than what he can offer. The competition for a place in the first team is going to be heavy next season. The players too find it a shame that he’s leaving. Charlie was able to motivate other players and was always one of the players to lighten the atmosphere. I hope that he finds his way as a trainer and I hope to see him back at one of our matches.”
