The Red Wolves recorded a historic win on Sunday night. The Belgians beat Tunisia by 31 – 29 to win their second group match in their first participation in a World Cup. Halfway through the game, it was 17 – 16 in favour of the Red Wolves. In the second half, the Belgians quickly ran out two goals and missed the opportunity to run out to three goals. Tunisia closed the gap, got into the lead but the Belgians, in a thrilling finale of nerve-wracking second half, finally deservedly fought their way to a 31 – 29 win. Raphael Kötters was voted man of the match.

Wednesday afternoon, the Red Wolves will host their first press conference ahead of the World Handball Championship.  You can find out more about that later on our Facebook page Belgian Handball.

Today we introduce our staff members starting with our T1 Yérime Sylla, the architect of the Red Wolves’ project. As T2, he has Kevin Jacobs next to him, former international, player of Sasja and current coach of Sasja. Next to them on the bench is Marc Dongleur, team manager of the Red Wolves.  Marc gets up and goes to sleep with a handball under his pillow and does everything for the team. The Red Wolves can count on two physiotherapists in Malmö: Olivier Rocks and Nick Maesen. Colin Bodet is our doctor. Bruno Willems is the head of the medical staff. Finally, there are Technical Directors Michel Kranzen and Jonathan Vandenbergh.  Michel Kranzen co-founded the Red Wolves years ago with Yérime Sylla and was even T2 for a time.  Jonathan Vandenbergh can look back on a successful playing career and subsequently made the move to the technical department where he and Michel set the sporting lines.
