Belgium Fires Coach Tedesco After Poor Performance

News summary

Belgium's football association has sacked national team coach Domenico Tedesco following disappointing performances at Euro 2024 and in the Nations League, where the team failed to meet expectations. Tedesco, who was appointed in 2023 and extended his contract for the 2026 World Cup, oversaw a difficult tenure marked by only two wins in his last ten matches and a last-16 exit at the Euro. His relationship with key players, including goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, deteriorated, contributing to his dismissal. The Belgian FA is now searching for a successor, with Thierry Henry emerging as a leading candidate, given his prior experience as assistant coach and recent success with the French Olympic team. CEO Peter Willems acknowledged Tedesco's efforts to integrate young talent into the squad but noted the need for improved results moving forward. The new coach is expected to be appointed before Belgium's upcoming Nations League playoffs in March.
