“No way to deal with people”: 90 Minutes denounces situation surrounding “dead man lying” Domenico Tedesco

With one and a half legs out, but still not officially fired. For months it has seemed like the end of the story for Domenico Tedesco at the Red Devils. However, in 2025 we will still have to wait for the death blow. “Inhuman” according to the 90 Minutes panel, but his dismissal would make sense: “I think the players would rather him leave than stay.”

Who will be Domenico Tedesco’s successor at the Red Devils? A question that is becoming increasingly louder, while the current national coach has not even been fired.

“I don’t think that’s very polite towards him. People don’t even talk about him anymore,” Gilles De Coster notes in 90 Minutes.

“It is no longer dead man walking, but dead man lying. He is there and that is not okay, even though there must be a reason for it,” says Filip Joos.

“I don’t think he is the warmest person in an organization and that might make it easier. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy to me, he just has a kind of inhibition.”

I think the players would rather Tedesco leave than stay.

“He is not the type of coach you will hear many bad things about in the coming months, except from a very good goalkeeper,” Gilles Mbiye-Beya hints about the Thibaut Courtois case.

Although Tuur Dierckx does hear other signals. “Be careful. I think the players would rather have him leave than stay. Not only because of his choices, but also because of his interaction. That indicates that he is not on everyone’s agenda.”

Firing Tedesco in 2025 would be significantly less expensive for the Football Association. But, “it’s now January 14th.” “As long as they haven’t found anyone, they won’t want to throw him out,” Tuur says.

“No way to deal with people,” says Gilles De Coster. “That’s the way it is in football. You only fire someone when you have someone new,” Daan Heymans agrees.

And who should succeed Tedesco? It certainly won’t be Hein Vanhaezebrouck, “he kept the honor to himself,” says Tuur. “Because he felt that it wouldn’t be him anyway,” Filip adds.

“The names that come out are not Belgian names.” “A category higher,” according to Tuur. “Mark van Bommel is mentioned, then you can compare Vanhaezebrouck with that?”, Daan then asks again.

“Yes, but Van Bommel has played a World Cup final and that presents differently to the outside world. I would go for him,” Filip makes his choice.

Or Philippe Clement? Tuur: “I think that is a bit too early for him. First he will want to take some steps in a club context.”

Lukaku, De Bruyne and Courtois cannot say about Van Bommel: who have they thrown in here?

“Why would Van Bommel want to do it? It is no longer the prestige project it was ten years ago,” thinks Gilles De Coster.

“It’s a nice job and there is still quality at the core, right? Does he want to smell the grass every week? No, then he would have been working for a long time. He does enjoy looking at his son to go and see,” Filip begins.

“He already stood on the sideline with the aura of a national coach. He radiated calm, laughed with the line judge, half-touched everyone… He made it feel like he had played a World Cup final. There is someone there. “

With a career that speaks for itself. “Lukaku, De Bruyne and Courtois cannot say: who have they thrown in here?”

“Barcelona, ​​Bayern and a World Cup final. Then Van Bommel can say: you will normally not play that anymore, unless you listen to me.”

In the Jupiler Pro League it was time for the Antwerp derby again and that was a very nice match in terms of sport, because Beerschot showed itself to be a team with (beach) balls. For the other team in purple and white it was a Sunday to quickly forget, because Anderlecht clearly fell a few levels short against Club Brugge and had to bite the dust with 0-3.
