RWD Molenbeek — around the 1995/96 season

RWD Molenbeek (often abbreviated RWD or RWDM) refers to the historic Brussels-based club Racing White Daring Molenbeek. Around the mid-1990s the situation of clubs using the RWDM identity was complicated due to financial problems and reorganisations. Here are key points relevant to the club and the coach you mentioned:

• Club identity and status in 1995/96
  • The original RWDM (founded after mergers that produced the Racing White Daring Molenbeek name) experienced severe financial difficulties in the early 1990s and went bankrupt in 2002. In the 1995/96 period the original RWDM was not a stable top-flight entity as in earlier decades; different successor teams and refoundations would appear later in the 2000s and 2010s under similar names.
  • Because of frequent refoundings and licence transfers in Belgian football, sources sometimes conflate different RWDM incarnations (RWD Molenbeek, RWDM Brussels FC, FC Molenbeek Brussels Strombeek, etc.).
• René Vandereycken
  • René Vandereycken (born 1953) is a well-known Belgian midfielder-turned-manager. His managerial career included spells at several Belgian clubs (e.g., Anderlecht, Club Brugge, Genk) and later the Belgium national team (2009–2010).
  • There is no widely documented record of René Vandereycken serving as head coach of RWD Molenbeek specifically in the 1995/96 season in standard historical sources. Around the mid-1990s Vandereycken’s managerial appointments included spells at Charleroi (early 1990s) and later positions; he became manager of Anderlecht in 1997–1999. That timeline makes a RWDM head-coach role for him in 1995/96 unlikely based on published records.
• If you need precise match or squad details
  • For match results, line-ups or official competition placement in 1995/96, consult contemporary Belgian league tables, match programmes, the Belgian FA archives (URBSFA/KBVB), or reputable historical football databases (e.g., RSSSF, WorldFootball.net, Transfermarkt) which document club names, seasons and managerial appointments including complex licence changes.

Summary: RWD Molenbeek’s identity around 1995/96 is entangled in financial and organisational changes; René Vandereycken is a prominent Belgian coach but available records do not show him as RWDM’s head coach in 1995/96. For definitive confirmation of a specific match, squad list or a short-term caretaker appointment, primary archival sources (match reports, Belgian FA records) should be checked.
