Yves Vanderhaeghe (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈi vɑndɛrˈɦaːɣə]; born 30 January 1970 in Roeselaere) is a Belgian retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, and the current manager of K.V. Oostende.
Known for his tackling, hard-working approach and stamina, he played for five clubs during his 22-year professional career, amassing Belgian Pro League totals of 340 games and 32 goals.
A late bloomer, Vanderhaeghe did not reach the Belgian national team until the age of 29, but still went on to collect nearly 50 caps, representing the nation in one World Cup and one European Championship.
At the age of 16, Vanderhaeghe moved from hometown's K.S.V. Roeselare to Cercle Brugge KSV, on loan, but he only played one game in two seasons. Subsequently, he returned to his first club, playing four years in the Belgian Third Division and two in the second, now with the shirt of R.E. Mouscron.
Vanderhaeghe first established himself in the Pro League with K.S.C. Eendracht Aalst, amassing more than 100 official appearances and adding 11 goals in the league alone. In January 1998 he returned to Mouscron, scoring a career-best eight times in the 1999–2000 campaign as the Wallonia team finished in fourth position, nearly qualifying for the UEFA Cup.
