Gaëtan Englebert (born 11 June 1976) is a Belgian football coach, official and former player who played as a defensive midfielder. He is the manager and sporting director of RFC Liège.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Liège, Englebert started playing professionally with local club RFC Liège after spending nearly a decade in its youth system. In 1997, after one season, he moved to K. Sint-Truidense VV, where he made his Pro League debut.

Two years later Englebert signed for Club Brugge KV and was one of the club's most important midfielders during his eight-year spell, winning, amongst other accolades, two leagues and three cups. Overall, he appeared in 344 matches and scored 26 goals.

At 32, Englebert would have his first experience abroad, signing a two-year deal with Tours FC of Ligue 2 in June 2008.[1] On 31 August 2010, choosing to stay in the division, he moved to FC Metz.[2][3]

In July 2011, Englebert returned to his country and joined third level side K.V.V. Coxyde. In the following transfer window he returned to Liège, where he played until 2013; he continued working with the latter club as director of football after retiring.[4]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Englebert collected nine caps for Belgium, the first arriving on 28 February 2001 as the Red Devils thrashed San Marino 10–1 in Brussels during qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

The national side made it to the final stages in South Korea and Japan and the player – following another solid season at Brugge – was picked for the 23-man squad, but did not leave the bench.
