Koen Daerden (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkun ˈdaːr.də(n)]; born 8 March 1982) is a Belgian former professional football player and current coach, who works as sporting director for the youth or head of the youth department at Racing Genk.

Club career

Daerden was born in Tongeren. He started his senior career with K.R.C. Genk, where he became captain.

He signed a one-year contract with Club Brugge in June 2006 for a reported transfer fee of €4,000,000.

On 15 January 2010, Daerden joined Standard Liège from Club Brugge until June 2013.[4] However, after a loan spell at Sint-Truiden, he was released in the summer of 2013 due to a lack of playing time.

After being on trial with Dutch side Willem II in the summer of 2013, Daerden eventually signed with Dutch Eerste Divisie side MVV Maastricht. On the last day of 2013, Daerden decided to retire from professional football as a result of sustained injuries.
