Koen Daerden (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkun ˈdaːr.də(n)]) (born 8 March 1982 in Tongeren) is a Belgian former footballer and currently football coach, who currently is working as sporting director for the youth or head of the youth department at Racing Genk.
Career
Before he signed a one-year contract with Club Brugge in June 2006, he was captain of his former club, K.R.C. Genk. It was rumoured that Brugge had paid a transfer fee of €4,000,000 for the left winger. On 15 January 2010, Standard Liege signed the midfielder from Club Brugge until June 2013.[4] However, after a loan spell at Sint-Truiden, he was released in the summer of 2013 due to a lack of play time. After being on trial with Dutch side Willem II in the summer of 2013, Daerden eventually signed with Dutch Eerste Divisie side MVV Maastricht. On the last day of 2013, Daerden decided to retire from professional football as a result of sustained injuries.
International career
Daerden also played 10 times for the Belgian national team.[5]
Personal life
Daeden and his girlfriend Lisbeth became parents for the first time on 2 November 2006 of twin boys Sander and Brian. Koen is the son of ex-footballer Jos Daerden. Koen has one younger brother, born 1986.
