He won only two trophies, the now discontinued League Cup in 1986 with RFC Liege and the Belgian Cup in 1990 with the same club. Waseige took over as national coach in 1999 ahead of Euro-2000, where Belgium was joint host but were eliminated in the group phase. He appeared for RFC Liege, Racing White Brussels, KFC Winterslag and Genk between 1959 and 1973.
