One more Dodo that disappears.
The information was in the cards, it is now confirmed. This Friday, January 17, shortly before dinner time, the Belgian Football Union announced that it was parting ways with its national coach Domenico Tedesco. Appointed in February 2023 on the bench of the Red Devils, the 39-year-old German leaves his post after 24 managed matches, half of which he won (six draws and six defeats, 1.75 points on average per match).
Arriving to replace Roberto Martinez, Tedesco (who was then beginning his international career) began his record with fanfare by going 14 games without defeat, enough to consolidate Belgium in its title of world champion of friendly matches, all while starting the post-golden generation transition by launching many young people. But the problems start from Euro 2024 and an early defeat against Slovakia (0-1) and a group phase ended with a demonstration of non-play against Ukraine (0-0) .
The elimination by France in the next round is then logical and blows on the embers of the detractors of the former RB Leipzig coach, already undermined by the open conflict between him and Thibaut Courtois. The series of five consecutive games without winning to end 2024 will have taken its toll on Tedesco, as Belgium prepares to compete in the Nations League A maintenance play-offs against Ukraine, on 20 and 23 next March.
-His successor is not yet known but, according to information from the Flemish daily The latest Newsthe sports director of the Belgian Union Vincent Mannaert has already decided on his shortlist, on which we would notably find Thierry Henry and Rudi Garcia. Problem, the first declared on RMC that he was not even aware of it.
At the same time, you will have to have strong backs to dive into such a basket of crabs.
