About Jacky Munaron

  • Jacques "Jacky" Munaron (born 8 September 1956, Namur) is a former football goalkeeper, and currently the goalkeeper coach of FP Halle-Gooik. As a young player, Jacky Munaron started as the keeper of the youth team of FC Dinant.
  • Munaron stayed in Dinant and became a player of the A-team.
  • FC Dinant played in the Third Division at that time.
  • In 1974, Jacky was discovered by RSC Anderlecht and moved to Brussels. Over there, he was only a substitute player, as Jan Ruiter, the Dutch keeper of Anderlecht, was the first choice of the trainer.
  • Also later, when Anderlecht bought Nico de Bree, another Dutch player of RWDM, Munaron was a substitute player. Nevertheless, Munaron sometimes got some chances to play and became quickly the real number one of Anderlecht.
  • Ruiter quit playing, De Bree was transferred and Munaron stayed.
  • Munaron stayed in total 15 seasons in Anderlecht, from 1974 until 1989.
  • He was four times champion with Anderlecht, won 4 times the Belgian Cup, two times the Europacup II and the UEFA-cup in 1983. 1988, the competition within the team was stronger again.
  • Munaron became older and Anderlecht chose the more and more its younger keeper Filip De Wilde, still a coming talent then.
  • As a result, Jacky Munaron moved to Club Liège in 1989. 1992, Standard de Liège wanted to buy Munaron from Club Liège and Munaron went to Standard.
  • The keeper was 36 years at that time and became a substitute, because Gilbert Bodart was the first keeper of Standard in the early '90s. 1995, Munaron went to Eendracht Aalst, but 1996, he decided to stop playing.
  • He was an 8-time Red Devil. After his career as a player, Munaron became a trainer.
  • He was keeper trainer of the Red Devils, RSC Anderlecht and the Turkish team Trabzonspor.
  • As from the season 2010–2011, he worked for AA Gent.
  • At the start of the season 2014-15, he left the club.
  • He went to FCV Dender to become goalkeeper coach.
  • After this adventure he became the goalkeeper coach of Royal Excelsior Mouscron (Belgian first division).
  • At the end of the season 2016-2017, Jacky was pushed away from REM in a very disrespectful manner, making him decide to leave the field football behind and to choose a new challenge, namely Futsal. As of July 1, 2017, Jacky became a goalkeeper coach at FP Halle-Gooik (a Belgian top club who has become champion in the first grade of Futsal in the last 3 years).
  • Again, he will be able to enjoy football again at a high level, as FP Halle-Gooik also participates in the Futsal Champions League.
