Jonas De Roeck (born 20 December 1979) is a Belgian professional football coach and former player. He is currently unemployed after most recently managing Belgian Pro League club Westerlo.
Early life[edit]
De Roeck was born in Barcelona, Spain, where his father was working as a chemical engineer at the time. As a child he also lived in the United States and England.[1]
Playing career[edit]
De Roeck started his professional career with Antwerp in 1999 and spent several seasons with other Belgian clubs such as Lierse, Germinal Beerschot and Gent before moving to Germany with FC Augsburg.[2] He returned in the summer of 2012 when he signed with Oud-Heverlee Leuven,[3] where he stayed for one season before moving back to Antwerp.
Managerial career[edit]
On 27 May 2021, De Roeck was officially announced as the new head coach of Belgian First Division B club Westerlo. He became the successor of Bob Peeters, who had not managed to lead the club to promotion to the top division in the four previous seasons.[4] Westerlo earned promotion to the Belgian First Division A in his first season at the helm. After the 2021-22 season, De Roeck signed a contract extension to keep him at the club through the 2024-25 season.[5]
