After many years of success with Asterix, Kris Vansnick is moving on to Paris, where he will join Les Mariannes 92. His time in Belgian volleyball has been marked by a long list of titles, cups and European campaigns, as well as important work with the national women’s team, the Yellow Tigers.

Vansnick started as a libero before gradually moving into scouting, statistics and coaching. At Asterix, he helped develop young players and modernised the team’s approach with more detailed tactical work, video analysis and performance tracking. One of his proudest moments was reaching the Champions League group stage, along with several finals at the Sportpaleis.

His new challenge in Paris is both sporting and personal: it offers an ambitious project, a professional environment and a strong focus on young players, while still allowing him to balance family life. He says he prefers to build step by step rather than chase every bigger offer, and wants continuity to remain a key principle.

With the Yellow Tigers, he especially remembers the historic bronze medal at Euro 2013 and Belgium’s strong 2022 World Championship run. Looking ahead, he wants to stay involved with the national team until 2028, helping the next generation grow into a stable and competitive group on the international stage.
