In January 2024, Michiel Jonckheere made the move from the technical staff of second division club KV Oostende to the U18 of Club NXT, where he became head coach. Since March 2024, he has been an assistant coach at Club A alongside Nicky Hayen.

As a player, Jonckheere went through several youth series at Blauw-Zwart, before defending the logo of KV Oostende and KV Kortrijk as a professional footballer. In 2022, Jonckheere hung up his shoes and began his coaching career with Ostend's U18 team. Michiel quickly advanced to assistant coach of the first team and jumped in as interim head coach during the last games of his period with KVO. He was also at the helm of the A-team at Club Brugge once before, in the championship match of the 2023/24 season against Cercle.
