Career

In May 2020, Lommel S.K. parted ways with coach Maes. The club announced that they were looking for a new head coach.[3][4]

In December 2020, the STVV team welcomed 56-year-old Peter Maes as its new head coach. Maes, who had been a goalkeeper with Lommel SK, R.S.C. Anderlecht, Waasland-Beveren and Standard Liège, among others, decided to enter the coaching job after his active career as a player.[5][6][7] Maes was named coach of the year in 2014. Popular throughout the country, the coach played with Guy Hellers at Standard de Liège from 1996 to 1998. Maes also won two Belgian Cups in 2012 and 2014.[8]

Investigation

In October 2018, Maes, coach of the Belgium national football team K.S.C. Lokeren, was arrested for corruption in Belgian football. After Ivan Leko, Maes is the second coach to be imprisoned in this case.[9][10][11][12]
