Two new faces in the sporting framework of Club Brugge next season: Michaël Vijverman comes over from KV Mechelen, Gertjan De Mets makes the move from KAA Gent.
Vijverman (31) will join Club as Team Manager. The East-Fleming started his career in the youth academy of Zulte Waregem and spent the last three years as Team Manager at KV Mechelen. He will help shape the administrative and logistical framework at Club. Dévy Rigaux, who filled the role of Team Manager since 2013, makes the internal move to recruitment where he will help steer the daily operations.
With Gertan De Mets (34), Club brings in an old acquaintance. De Mets is a Bruges youth product. He was active in Club's A-core from 2007 to 2010 and then continued his soccer career at KV Kortrijk, Zulte Waregem and Beerschot, among others. Since 2019, De Mets has been a video analyst at KAA Gent. The Bruges native will start the new season in that same role with the Bruges A core
