Career

While managing R.F.C. de Liège he helped them win the 1989–90 Belgian Cup.[1] He became the coach of Belgium before Euro 2000 and led Belgium to the second round at the 2002 World Cup.

He then left the national team, having signed a contract with Standard Liège prior to the 2002 World Cup tournament. After a deceiving start in the Belgian First Division he was fired by the club and replaced by caretaker manager Dominique D'Onofrio. He later managed Algeria. Waseige also managed several other clubs: Winterslag, FC Liège, Lokeren, Charleroi, FC Brussels and Sporting CP in Portugal. As a player, he wore the shirts of FC Liège, RW Brussels and Winterslag. He was for some time a consultant for BeTV, a Belgian private TV channel. He died in a hospital in Liège on 17 July 2019. He was suffering from heart and kidney problems.[2]
