David has been active as Sports Director at RAAL La Louvière for the past 5 seasons. Bee The Wolves he played an important role in their rise to the Jupiler Pro League, partly thanks to methodical recruitment. David previously worked in the business world at Deloitte and Accenture, among others, and has a background as a civil engineer.

David takes over the leadership of the scouting department. Hugo will oversee the department’s data analyses. This also means that the collaboration with Dries Belaen will end after 5 seasons. The club would like to thank Dries and wish him the best in his further career.
Chief Sports Tim Borguet is delighted with the arrival of the two newcomers: “The arrival of David and Hugo is part of the reorientation of one of the most decisive sporting departments.
