Johan Walem (born 1 February 1972 in Soignies, Belgium) is a former football midfielder and is now a TV consultant for Belgacom TV. He was one of the best Belgian midfielders of his generation, but he gained surprisingly few caps (36) for the national team, scoring two goals.
His former clubs are Molenbeek (as a youngster), Anderlecht, Udinese, Parma (on loan), Standard Liège, Torino and Catania. At Udinese, he was nicknamed Il Geometra (The Geometer) as he was very precise in his passes. His partnership with German striker Oliver Bierhoff was also praised at that time. He works currently as Youth Coach at Udinese Calcio.
