Glen De Boeck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glen De Boeck (born August 22, 1971) is a Belgian assistant manager and former footballer. He played much of his career on the books of R.S.C. Anderlecht. In February of 2005, Glen De Boeck decided to end his career due to a heavy knee injury. He was directly snapped up by his club Anderlecht to become an assistant manager together with Daniel Renders.
De Boeck made his international debut with Belgium on October 6, 1993 against Gabon (a friendly). In the summer of 1995, De Boeck was transferred from KV Mechelen to R.S.C. Anderlecht.
In the late 1990s, De Boeck was criticized by pundits saying he was not good enough for Anderlecht. He eventually increased his technical performances to become one of the best central defenders in Jupiler League in the early 2000s.
