Gert Verheyen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣɛrt fərˈɦɛiə(n)];[a] also spelled Verheijen; born 20 September 1970) is a Belgian retired footballer and manager, who was last in charge of Oostende.
In a 20-year professional career, he was mainly associated with Anderlecht and Club Brugge (especially the latter), scoring over 200 official goals for both clubs combined; he was known to have rather few technical skills, relying on a hard-working approach.[1]
Verheyen represented Belgium in two World Cups and one European Championship. His father Jan was also player and international for Belgium from 1965 till 1976.
