Karel Fraeye (born 16 November 1977), is a Belgian[1] football manager who is currently unemployed after being sacked as head coach of Lommel United in October 2016.
Career
After a few years as a youth coach with KAA Gent and FC Destelbergen, he started his managerial career with second division KSV Sottegem in 2010. After spending three years in charge of Belgian Fourth Division A club K.F.C. Eendracht Zele, Fraeye had a short stint as an assistant to head coach José Riga at Charlton Athletic. By his own account, he then continued to work for Charlton's owner, Roland Duchâtelet as a scout for AD Alcorcón.[2] In October 2015, he was announced as head coach at Charlton, quitting the job he then held at Belgian third division club, VW Hamme.[3] He was sacked on 13 January 2016, having won just two out of his fourteen matches while in charge.[4]
In February 2016, Fraeye was appointed head coach of Belgian Second Division team Lommel United, with the initial aim of preventing relegation.[5] Fraeye succeeded in keeping the team at the second level, but was sacked the next season in the beginning of October following a 3-6 home loss to Tubize, which dropped Lommel United to last place.
