(2007-2017) Bogaerts stayed with the team after his retirement and worked alongside
Sean Kelly as Team Manager for eleven seasons. During this period he also spent time with
Lotto Ladies and as an assistant
directeur sportif. The first professional victory of Bogaerts' managerial career was stage one of the 2008
Vuelta a Extremadura, a
team time trial in
Mérida, Spain. Team riders wore the leaders' jersey on every subsequent stage, with
Daniel Lloyd taking the overall victory. Known as
An Post–Chain Reaction in its later years, the team took further overall victories on the
UCI Europe Tour under Bogaerts' management at races including
Rás Tailteann in Ireland and
Ronde de l'Oise in France, as well as one-day and stage victories at higher-category races including
Schaal Sels in Belgium and the
Tour of Britain. The team was based in
Belgium at the Sean Kelly Academy in
Merchtem, but was registered in Kelly's home country of Ireland. Bogaerts was instrumental in moving registration to Belgium in 2010, stating that it would allow the team to race in ten to twenty more events per season. The squad returned to Irish registration in 2014 and remained there until it disbanded at the end of the 2017 season.
Ineos Grenadiers (2021-2024) Having spent 2018 and 2019 at , Bogaerts joined
Ineos Grenadiers in 2021 as a coach and assistant directeur sportif. Bogaerts first worked with
Tom Pidcock when they were together at Team Wiggins and the pair were reunited when Bogaerts joined the Ineos staff. Bogaerts worked closely with Pidcock as he began to excel at the top level of multiple cycling disciplines, with Pidcock claiming two
Olympic Mountain Biking gold medals and road race victories at the
2023 Strade Bianche,
2024 Amstel Gold Race and stage twelve at the
2022 Tour de France, a summit finish atop
Alpe d'Huez. In addition to working with
Dylan van Baarle for his victory at
2022 Paris–Roubaix, Bogaerts also coached
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot to victory in the Women's Mountain Bike race at the
2024 Summer Olympics, meaning he had coached the winner in three of the four races in the discipline across the 2020 and 2024 Games.
Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team (2025) In December 2024, it was announced that Bogaerts would follow Tom Pidcock from Ineos Grenadiers to
Swiss UCI ProSeries team
Q36.5 Pro Cycling and take up the role of Head of Technical Performance. Discussing the move, Bogaerts said "It’s very special to continue working with Tom. I have been part of his career since 2018, and we achieved great results together." The move paid immediate dividends, with Pidcock taking two stage wins, the points classification and the overall victory in his first race for the team at the
2025 AlUla Tour. == References ==
