'''Filip Alfons De Wilde''' (born 5 July 1964) is a former Belgian professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]].

During a 23-year professional career he played mainly with [[R.S.C. Anderlecht|Anderlecht]], appearing in nearly 400 official games in two different spells.<ref>[http://www.anderlecht-online.be/stars.php?lang=fra&id=56 Anderlecht biography]; at Purple Dynamite {{in lang|fr}}</ref> He also competed in Portugal and Austria.

De Wilde represented [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] for 11 years, playing for the country in three [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]] and [[UEFA Euro 2000|Euro 2000]].

==Club career==
De Wilde was born in [[Zele]], [[East Flanders]]. At the age of nine he entered local [[Eendracht Zele]]'s youth system, joining the famous [[K.S.K. Beveren]] goalkeeper school in 1980. He then signed for [[R.S.C. Anderlecht]] after five full seasons, where he became a legend; during his first stint he won four [[Belgian Pro League|national championships]], three [[Belgian Cup]]s and two [[Belgian Supercup|Supercups]].

In 1996, De Wilde left [[Brussels]] and his country and joined [[Sporting Clube de Portugal]] but, after losing first-choice status to youngster [[Tiago Ferreira (footballer, born 1975)|Tiago]], returned home to Anderlecht in April 1998, for the rest of [[1997–98 Belgian First Division|that campaign]] and five more (being first-choice until [[2002–03 Belgian First Division|his last year]]).

In January 2004, after a brief spell in Austria with [[SK Sturm Graz]], De Wilde joined, at 39, [[K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen]], for his final two seasons as a professional. He did play however during two months (April–May 2005) for lowly [[K.F.C. Verbroedering Geel]].

==International career==
De Wilde was on the [[Belgium national football team|Belgium national team]] in three [[FIFA World Cup]]s: [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990]], [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994]] and [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998]]. He played the first of his 33 games with the ''Red Devils'' against [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]] in a 1989 [[Exhibition game|friendly]], coming on as a [[Substitute (association football)|substitute]] for [[Gilbert Bodart]] at [[half-time]].

In the first two World Cups, De Wilde acted as backup to legendary [[Michel Preud'homme]] but, after the latter's retirement he became first-choice, playing in the 1998 edition. His last international appearance was a sour one, as the match against [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] at the [[UEFA Euro 2000]] was lost by the hosts 0–2 and he was [[Ejection (sports)|sent off]] with seven minutes to go (previously, he hesitated and lost the ball to opposing [[Forward (association football)|striker]] [[Hakan Şükür]], who opened the scoresheet), as Belgium was eliminated in the first round.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0254-0d7b3220d316-bd8a2b99a165-1000--rustu-and-sukur-star-as-belgium-fall-to-turkey-in-euro-20/|title=Rüştü and Şükür star as Belgium fall to Turkey|publisher=[[UEFA]]|date=6 October 2003|access-date=12 January 2016}}</ref>

==Coaching career==
Upon retiring in June De Wilde immediately rejoined former side Anderlecht, as a goalkeeping coach.

De Wilde began working with the [[Belgium national under-21 football team|Belgian under-21s]] in 2012, still as a goalkeeper coach.
