Olympic Charleroi has officially appointed Kevin Caprasse as head coach, a decision he made within minutes after touring the club's facilities.

The 42‑year‑old Berlozien, previously in charge of Seraing and Solières, said the confidence of sporting director Dante Brogno and a good feeling during the visit were decisive. He was given two or three days to think, but was convinced he made the right choice.

How did Caprasse end up at Olympic Charleroi?

After a brief, business‑like statement from Seraing in February 2026 announcing the end of their partnership, Caprasse began looking for a new challenge. Dante Brogno, newly appointed sporting director, approached him directly. Brogno had previously worked with Caprasse at RFC Liège and felt an instant connection. A meeting with the general manager of Olympic Charleroi and a tour of the training grounds confirmed his instinct.

What does the new coach promise?

Caprasse stressed his belief in the project Brogno has laid out. "We want to start from scratch, with a clear plan and lots of young talent," he said. He cited his own experience at Seraing, where he developed a youthful squad under tough conditions, as a template for what he can deliver. The coach aims to be open and approachable, much like Brogno did as a player.

How does the legal battle affect the future?

Olympic Charleroi is currently fighting a court case to return to the professional top tier (D1‑FFA) after a forced relegation. The club will appear before a civil tribunal on Friday, hoping for a swift reinstatement. Caprasse said that, regardless of the outcome, he is ready to lead the side, whether in D1‑B or D1‑FFA. He added that he likes staying close to friends in Stockay and fellow coach Éric Vandebon.

What does recent form show?

The team recently posted a 2‑0 win over Standard Liège on 23 May 2026. Their last five matches record stands at 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with a two‑game winning streak that has lifted the mood.

What does this mean for supporters?

Fans can now expect a coach known for his direct style and youth‑focused approach. The blend of Caprasse’s experience and Brogno’s vision promises a fresh boost for the club, while the legal issue remains unresolved. The coming weeks will be decisive in seeing whether the club can secure its place in the professional ranks.
