Bruno Versavel (born 27 August 1967) is a Belgian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder, most notably for KV Mechelen and R.S.C. Anderlecht.
Playing career
[edit | edit source]Born in Diest, Versavel made his debut in professional football at KFC Diest before moving to KSC Lokeren. While at KV Mechelen, he won the Belgian League and the European Super Cup. He then moved to R.S.C. Anderlecht, where he played five seasons. He also played for Serie B side AC Perugia and Swiss club FC Lugano before moving back to Belgium to play for FC Herentals, K.F.C. Verbroedering Geel and K.V. Turnhout. Versavel earned 28 caps for the Belgium national team, scoring four times.
Coaching career
[edit | edit source]After retiring in 2012, he became manager of KSV Oud-Turnhout. Versavel left the club in the summer 2015 because had an oral agreement with KVK Beringen.[1] However, KVK Beringen did not keep their word and chose another coach.
Versavel was then without a club until 24 January 2017, when it was announced that he had become the new manager of KFCMD Halen.[2] On 5 March 2018, he became the manager of KOVC Sterrebeek.[3] He was fired four months later.[4]
In February 2019, it was confirmed that Versavel would take charge of KESK Leopoldsburg from the upcoming 2019–20 season.[5] But already in October 2019, it was decided by mutual consultation to end the cooperation.[6]
