Francky Dury (born 11 October 1957 in Roeselare) is a Belgian football manager who is the current manager of Zulte Waregem.

Dury began his career as an amateur footballer in the Belgian lower leagues playing for Hulste Sport from 1971 to 1981.

He made his first coaching experiences at Harelbeke where he was in charge of the second team, as well as at KSK Beveren-Leie,K.S.K. Ronse and R.R.C. Tournaisien.

With the exception of a season-long stint at RCH Gent, Dury coached Zultse VV from 1990 to 2010 with Zultse being merged into S.V. Zulte Waregem in 2001. Having helped his team to promotions from the first level of the Belgian provincial leagues (1991), the Belgian Fourth Division (1994 and 1999), the Belgian Third Division (2002) and the Belgian Second Division (2005) he won the second division championship with Zulte-Waregem in the 2004–05 season achieving promotion to the highest level in Belgian football, the Belgian Pro League.

In the club's first season in the highest division Dury guided Zulte-Waregem to a sixth place in the league as well as to winning the 2005–06 Belgian Cup, earning qualification to the Europa League. Following these achievements, two personal honours were bestowed on him: he was voted coach of the year 2006, and West-Flemish personality of the year by the watchers of the regional television chains Focus and WTV in 2006. In 2007, he signed a professional contract as coach of the club while giving up his previously-held job as detective. In August 2009 he became the assistant of Frank Vercauteren, then-coach of the national Belgian team, while remaining coach of Zulte-Waregem.
