RSC Anderlecht’s U23 team has a new head coach. Karim Mokeddem (52) will take charge of the RSCA Futures. The Frenchman has been coaching since 2012 and was active in the French second tier until September last year.

Mokeddem won the National 2 title with Lyon Duchère AS in 2016 and, two years ago, reached the Round of 32 of the French Cup with US Orléans, where they faced PSG.

He holds the highly regarded UEFA Pro Licence and is known for his attacking approach. Mokeddem has signed a two-year contract with an option with the Mauves.

Karim Mokeddem after his appointment:

“RSC Anderlecht is the perfect club for me. All the ingredients are here, starting with the youngest players in the Academy. I see those same qualities in the Futures. Our goal will be to develop them into a real, cohesive team. The victories will then be the logical consequence of what we put in place on the pitch.”
