How much longer will Domenico Tedesco be at the head of the Red Devils? This is the question everyone is asking this Monday morning…
This time, the cup is full for everyone. Observers, analysts, supporters, and even, obviously, several players: almost everyone wants Domenico Tedesco not to continue his mandate at the head of the Red Devils.
Appointed to replace Roberto Martinez, the German-Italian had a happy start, with very encouraging successes in Sweden and Germany, and, overall, a very good qualifying campaign for Euro 2024.
A campaign at the end of which, even before the start of the European Championship, Tedesco saw his contract extended until June 2026, i.e. at the end of the World Cup.
The Belgian Union will have to pay dearly to fire Tedesco
However, nothing has been the same since that overtime day. The Devils no longer touch one, the successive injuries seem, for some, more and more diplomatic, tensions in the group emanate and the players, in general, no longer seem to follow their coach.
So what is the Belgian Union waiting for to fire him? Simply money. We know that the URBSFA is grappling with significant financial concerns, and every euro is counted. The UB is in a savings strategy and wants to spend as little as possible.
However, we will have to put our hands in the wallet if Peter Willems, Vincent Mannaert and others want to see a new man at the head of the national team. Indeed, according to the Belgian journalist’s sources Sacha Tavolieriit will take €750,000 to terminate Tedesco’s contract before its end, not to mention the bonuses that his five deputies would receive.
The total amount would therefore easily flirt with a million and a half euros, not to mention the negotiations to find his successor. Everyone seems to agree that Domenico Tedesco is no longer the man for the job, but the Belgian Union will now have to find the necessary resources to replace him. At the start of the week, a meeting “to take stock” is planned between Tedesco and Mannaert…
