Career

Born in Brussels-Capital Region, Hubert was raised in Uccle, suburban Brussels. Hubert made his debut with Genk in February 2008 in the match against K.V.C. Westerlo. In 2009, he won the Belgian Cup against KV Mechelen. On 19 May 2011, he was called up to the Belgium national team for the European Championship qualifier against Turkey. [1]

During the 2010–11 season he captained the team winning the Jupiler Pro League. In the summer of 2011, after winning the Belgian Supercup, he managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League after winning against Maccabi Haifa.

In January 2013, he joined Gent on a six-month loan deal after which he signed a four-year agreement. He later spent several loan spells before joining OH Leuven and Zulte Waregem.

On 13 August 2022, Hubert signed with Anderlecht to play for their reserve team RSCA Futures in the second-tier Challenger Pro League. [2]

Coaching career

Anderlecht

After retiring in 2023, Hubert joined Anderlecht as assistant coach for RSCA Futures and the U18 team. Following the 2023–24 season, he was promoted to head coach of the U18s. In September 2024, he became interim head coach of Anderlecht's first team, replacing Brian Riemer. [3] Despite mixed league results, he impressed in the Europa League and was confirmed as permanent head coach in October 2024. [4] However, inconsistent performances led to his dismissal in March 2025. [5]

OH Leuven

In June 2025, Hubert became head coach of Oud-Heverlee Leuven, a club he had played for between 2017 and 2021. [6] He signed a contract until mid-2027 but endured a poor start to the 2025–26 season, with OHL ranking second-to-last in October after achieving only two wins in ten matches. [7]

Union Saint-Gilloise

In mid-October 2025, reigning Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise appointed Hubert as their new head coach, after Sébastien Pocognoli left for Monaco. [8]
