Valère Billen (born 23 November 1952) is a Belgian football coach. He has coached in Ivory Coast where he managed Satellite FC Abidjan.[4]
Coaching career
Swaziland national team
Appointed
National Football Association of Swaziland still did not sack Billen[20] until November 2013, with local Harris Bulunga taking up the interim post.[21] The reason they gave for his firing was that he was in Belgium too often and spent more time there rather than helping the Swaziland Football Association.[21]
The coach temporarily returned to Belgium to care for his mother, who was ill.[22]
One year succeeding his appointment, Billen criticized his Swazi coaching colleagues, saying that they never allowed him to share his ideas.[23]
