Management career edit

In 2010, Lawarée founded a consulting firm which was named Axel Lawarée Consulting SPRL and was located in Oupeye, Belgium. The firm was also working together with the Royal Belgian Football Association.[3]

In November 2014, Lawarée was appointed as a sports advisor and sporting director at Standard Liège, replacing Jean-François De Sart who left his position a few months before.[4] In February 2016, he was assigned a new role as director of the club's youth department.[5] However, on 16 May 2016, Standard announced that the club had decided to end its collaboration with Lawarée.[6]

Two months later, he was appointed sporting director of his former club, RFC Seraing.[7] From January 2014, he got a new role at Seraing as technical director of the club's youth department. Seraing announced on 21 June 2019, that Lawarée would leave the club to start a new chapter with a job at the Royal Belgian Football Association as manager of the national football center of Tubize.[8]
