Career

Player

He played with Australian Aurelio Vidmar in K.S.V. Waregem and subsequently moved to Greece to play for Niki Volou, Athinaikos, Kerkyra, Agios Dimitrios and Acharnaikos. In 2006 he went to Cyprus to play for Doxa Katokopias for two seasons, and then from summer 2008 he played for APOP Kinyras Peyias. At APOP Kinyras Peyias he helped them win their first Cypriot Cup title in 2009 and scored in the final against AEL Limassol.

Manager

In his first year as a player/manager in 2012–13 he managed to get AEK Kouklia F.C. promoted for the first time in the team's history to the Cypriot First Division. In July 2013 he moved to AC Omonia Nicosia, first as coach of the U-21 team and later in a double role also as Assistant-coach after the team sacked Toni Savevski. In a 21-month period he worked together with 3 headcoaches; Nenad Starovlah, Miguel Angel Lotina and Costas Kaiafas. He also was care-taker for Omonia's win over EN Paralimni on 5 January 2014. After 3.5 years in Omonia Nicosia AC he moved back to Niki Volou (his first team as a player in Greece), and started first as technical director of the academy, as he was also in his last year in Omonia. Then in 2017-18 as the first team manager he won the local Thessaly Cup, and also took the team to the Football League II Cup final. In 2018-19 he became manager of Olympiakos Nicosia. When he started they were in last position with 0 points, but he managed to get them promoted to the first division. After this successful season he decided to leave Cyprus. He was close to signing for FC Lugano but at the last moment the deal fell through, so he then joined newly promoted Blue Boys Muhlenbach and he managed to keep them in the BGL League. Due to Corona and the stop of the Championship in Luxembourg he moved to his home country to join KMSK Deinze.

Technical Director

After a 1-year stay in Deinze he received an offer from Saudi Professional League Abha Club to become technical director. At his arrival on 15 October the team was in the last place with only 4 points in 7 games. Abha Club after all they remained in the highest league. Also for the season 2022-23 an easy stay in the league was secured fast.
