Description
Jacques "Jacky" Munaron is the football goalkeepers trainer of KAA Gent. Jacques Munaron was a Belgian Football player.
As a young player, Jacky Munaron started as the keeper of the youth team of FC Dinant. Munaron stayed in Dinant and became a player of the A-team. FC Dinant played in the Third Division at that time. In 1974, Jacky was discovered by RSC Anderlecht and moved to Brussels.
Over there, he was only a substitute player, as Jan Ruiter, the Dutch keeper of Anderlecht, was the first choice of the trainer. Also later, when Anderlecht bought Nico de Bree, another Dutch player, of RWDM, Munaron was a substitute player.
Nevertheless, Munaron sometimes got some chances to play and became quickly the real number one of Anderlecht. Ruiter quit playing, De Bree was transferred and Munaron stayed.

1988, the competition within the team was stronger again. Munaron became older and Anderlecht chose the more and more its younger keeper Filip De Wilde, still a coming talent then.
