During his playing career, he played in the Belgian First Division A for Racing Jet Wavre and R. Charleroi S.C.[1] After retiring he started working within football, mostly with youth development in French and Belgian clubs. In addition, he was the manager of R.A.E.C. Mons in 2008–09 and FC Brussels in 2009–10.[citation needed]
During his time at Standard Liège, Dessy oversaw the development of both Axel Witsel and Marouane Fellaini, "talents whose emergence is often attributed to Dessy".[2]
After ending his two-year stint at En Avant Guingamp, he made his first sejour to another country, signing for Tunisian club Etoile du Sahel in 2018.[3]
In 2021 he was brought back to his former club as a player, Charleroi.[2][4][5] In 2022 he moved on to AC Ajaccio to take over as U17 coach.[6]
