Transfer window: Tedesco sacked by Belgium national team
Italian-German, who succeeded Roberto Martínez, was in office for two years
Domenico Tedesco has been sacked as Belgium coach. The Italian-German coach, who succeeded Roberto Martinez, was in charge of the Belgians for two years.
«The sports committee of the KBVB [Belgian federation] decided today to end the collaboration with national coach Domenico Tedesco. With a rejuvenated team, they had a strong qualifying campaign for the European Championship. However, in the final stages, the team did not perform as expected, as they did later in the Nations League campaign. The search for his successor is already underway», can be read in the statement from the Belgian federation.
The 39-year-old coach led Belgium to the Euro 2024 finals, winning their qualifying group without a single defeat, but was knocked out by France in the round of 16. In the Nations League, the Belgians failed to reach the quarter-finals and will play a relegation/relegation play-off against Ukraine.
According to the French press, Thierry Henry and Rudi Garcia are the favorites for the succession.
