In his last 2 years at Cercle, he was also president of the team, succeeding Leon De Meester.

But football wasn't the only sport Raoul Daufresne de la Chevalerie was practising.

At the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Daufresne de la Chevalerie was coach of the Belgian football team.

He also represented Belgium as hockey player (winning the bronze medal) at these Olympics.

He fled from Belgium to Great Britain, where he was given command of the Free Belgian land forces with the rank of Lieutenant General.
