Charleroi

After Lokeren, Anthuenis moved to Sporting Charleroi, where he was reunited with Raymond Mommens. Under the leadership of Anthuenis, the "Zebras" once again finished safely in the middle bracket in the 1987–88 season.


Return to Lokeren

Anthuenis returned to Lokeren in 1988. The club had had a bad year and hoped to rejoin the top ten with his return. However, Lokeren, which had lost many of its key players, fell out of the top ten two years in a row. The club was no longer eligible for European football and had several colorless seasons. At the end of January 1993, the 49-year-old trainer was fired and succeeded by Etienne D'Hondt. Eventually, Lokeren ended the season last but one and was relegated.

Anthuenis was then hired by Germinal Ekeren, where he succeeded

Third stint at Lokeren

A few months after his last international match as national coach, Anthuenis started working again at Lokeren, despite offers from abroad and the plan to take a break from football. In December 2005, he became Lokeren's new coach. Anthuenis soon had to deal with depression and heart problems. He later explained that he actually had a burnout, after going back to work right away. When Lokeren lost 2–0 to Lierse on 11 February 2006, he was so tired that he called it quits, temporarily withdrawing from football.
