Anderlecht named David Hubert as coach on Thursday, promoting from within the club after talking to Tottenham Hotspur assistant Ryan Mason and former Swiss international Raphael Wicky.
Anderlecht, record 34-times Belgian champions, opted for Belgian Hubert, who had been acting as interim coach after the club fired Dane Brian Riemer last month following a disappointing start to the season.
Hubert has been in charge for five matches, winning two Europa League group games, including a 2-1 triumph at Real Sociedad in Spain. He also led Anderlecht to a 3-0 win over bitter rivals Standard Liege in the Belgian league on Sunday.
"I am truly honoured and proud by this show of confidence from the club," Hubert said in a club statement. "I am only focused on one thing. I want to see progression from day to day, week to week, month to month."
