A single call from Besnik Hasi was all it took to bring Lucas Biglia back to Anderlecht, this time not as a player—but as a mentor shaping the club’s future.
When loyalty runs deep, distance and time mean little. Over a decade after his departure from RSC Anderlecht, Lucas Biglia is back—answering a call not just from a former colleague, but from a club that helped shape his identity.
The 38-year-old Argentine, once the heartbeat of Anderlecht’s midfield, has officially joined the coaching staff under head coach Besnik Hasi. The move is more than a professional reunion; it’s the continuation of a personal connection rooted in mutual respect and shared ambition.
Back in 2013, it was Hasi—then an integral figure at the club—who played a pivotal role in facilitating Biglia’s transfer to Lazio, where the midfielder would go on to thrive in Serie A, reach a World Cup final with Argentina, and compete on Europe’s biggest stages. Despite the years and accolades that followed, Biglia never forgot the trust Hasi showed in him.
So when Hasi picked up the phone and proposed a return to Anderlecht in a new role, Biglia didn’t hesitate. The call reignited a bond that time had never broken.
Now, Biglia’s mission is clear: to guide the next generation of Anderlecht talent. His wealth of international experience, tactical understanding, and calm leadership make him a natural fit for mentoring young players. For a club rooted in youth development, his appointment is both symbolic and strategic.
For Hasi, bringing Biglia back marks the closing of a circle that began when the Argentine was a rising star in Brussels. For Biglia, this is more than a homecoming—it’s potentially the start of a new coaching journey, one that may eventually lead him to the manager’s seat.
As Anderlecht looks to restore its dominance in Belgian football, the reunion of Hasi and Biglia offers more than nostalgia. It brings together two figures with unfinished business and a shared vision for the club’s future.
And all it took was one phone call.
