[edit] Career

Gerets played for Rekem, Standard de Liège, AC Milan, MVV Maastricht and PSV Eindhoven, winning among others the 1987-88 European Cup, two Belgian championships and six Dutch championships. Although he was a defender, he was well known for a particular attacking skill: long distance throw-ins. He is the second most capped player for the Belgium national football team, with 86 appearances and 2 goals. In the First Round game in Italia 90 against Uruguay, which Belgium won 3-1, Gerets was sent off.

[edit] Coaching career

As a manager, he worked successively for FC Liège, Lierse SK, Club Brugge, PSV Eindhoven, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, and VfL Wolfsburg before joining Galatasaray SK at the end of the 2004–05 season. In the season 1996–97 he won the Belgian championships with Lierse, reprising the feat in the season 1998-1999 with Club Brugge. He won the Dutch championships twice (1999–2000 and 2000–01) with PSV Eindhoven. In the season 2005–06, he won the Turkish Premier Super League with Galatasaray SK. Galatasaray SK gained the highest point in its Turkish Premier Super League history at that year. In May 2007, he left the club. On 25 September he became Olympique de Marseille's coach, but he failed to make Marseille champion in 2007-08 season.

In his first year at Olympique de Marseille in 2007, he managed to get the team from the bottom of the league up to finish their 07-08 season as number three.

On the 29 April 2009, he confirmed that he will not be in charge of Marseille after the summer when his contract expires.^[1] On 26 May 2009 signed a contract to take over as head coach of Al-Hilal for an annual fee of 1.8 million €uro^[2].
