KRC Genk has further supplemented its sporting structure. In one statement, the club confirms three reinforcements for both the first team and Jong Genk.
Adjustment within the first team staff
Genk reports that Johan Van Rumst will again be part of the technical staff. He moves on from Jong Genk and becomes an assistant with the first team. He has already fulfilled that role successfully in the past. The club emphasizes that he has experience at the highest level and is familiar with the workings within blue and white. The statement states that he “knows what it takes to compete for the prizes.”
Van Rumst was previously part of the staff that won the national title in 2019. His return is described by the club as a clear strengthening of the framework around coach Nicky Hayen.
New interpretation at Jong Genk
Due to the shift within the staff, a vacancy has become available at Jong Genk. This will be filled by Igor De Camargo, who returns to the club where he received his youth training. The former striker has had a long career at home and abroad and has played more than three hundred games in the top flight.
De Camargo previously worked as an assistant coach and as a head coach. Genk indicates that its experience and knowledge of professional football provide added value for the development of young players.
Supplementation of the physical staff
In addition, Genk reports that Glenn Vanryckeghem is rejoining the club. He returns in the role of physical coach, a position he has already held in the past. His arrival fits in with the broader strengthening of the sporting structure.
The club emphasizes that these adjustments contribute to an environment in which performance and development are central. Van Rumst and Vanryckeghem immediately travel with the first team on an internship. De Camargo starts his assignment at Jong Genk this weekend. This means that all changes are immediately operational.
