List of current Belgian Football League managers

There are 24 association football teams in the top two tiers of Belgian football, all of whom have a manager, although the terms head coach and trainer are more commonly used for the position. The Belgian First Division A and Belgian First Division B are the only fully professional football leagues in Belgium. The First Division A consists of 16 clubs at the top of the Belgian football league system, while 8 clubs play in the second tier.

Some of these managers were appointed as caretaker managers prior to being given a permanent position; if so their caretaker appointment date is denoted in italics. Some managers listed have had more than one spell in charge at their current club, however their time as manager is counted only from the date of their last appointment.
