Rik De Mil (born 15 September 1981) is a Belgian professional football manager and former player. As a player, he was a goalkeeper.
In 2015, De Mil received an offer from Club Brugge to become a youth coach, following the departure of Sven Vermant.[1] He coached Club NXT, the reserve team of Club Brugge, during the side's 2020–21 season in the Belgian First Division B. On 18 February 2021, he replaced Philippe Clement as head coach of Club Brugge in the Europa League round of 32 match against Dynamo Kyiv which ended in a 1–1 draw, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In June 2022, he was replaced as Club NXT coach by Nicky Hayen.[3] Ahead of the 2022–23 season, Club Brugge announced that De Mil would be promoted to the first team, where he became assistant to Carl Hoefkens.[4] After the latter's dismissal in December 2022, De Mil also served under Scott Parker.[5] In March 2023, he obtained his UEFA Pro License trainer's diploma.[6]
On 12 December 2023, De Mil signed a contract with Westerlo, where he succeeded Jonas De Roeck as head coach.[7] He achieved better results, which saved the club from relegation, but was still dismissed on 19 March 2024, following the controversial 1–1 draw in the last match of the regular competition against Genk.[8]
On 22 March 2024, Sporting Charleroi announced the signing of a 2-year contract with De Mil, replacing Felice Mazzu[9] with DE Mil helping Charleroi win all their games in the relegation play-off series to stay up.
