Anderlecht will travel to Kortrijk tomorrow. Always a special match for Yves Vanderhaeghe.
With his 220 matches in the Anderlecht jersey, Yves Vanderhaeghe will always remain a popular name at Saint-Guidon. Not as graceful with the ball as his teammates at the time, the defensive midfielder left the light to the artists by doing the dirty work in the midfield.
Tomorrow, it is once again as Kortrijk coach that Vanderhaeghe will return to Sporting. This winter he began his third term at KVK, succeeding Freyr Alexandersson. However, he could have bounced back…at Anderlecht.
He reports to Nieuwsblad that he went to a Mauves match: “I met Peter Verbeke in the boxes. He asked me for my number and called me the next day. It was a good conversation.”
-Finally, a simple information gathering
Peter Verbeke still works at Neerpede as sports coordinator of the training center. Vanderhaeghe’s profile was interesting: “They were looking for someone who could prepare young players for D1B, but who could also guide talent towards the first team. A sort of new Jean Dockx.”
But if Vanderhaeghe finds the Mauves while being in the opposite camp, it is because this did not materialize: “I would have liked it a lot. I am faithful, I can give training on the field, I I know the house. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard from it since.
