Belgium Fires National Team Coach Domenico Tedesco After Poor Results
The decision follows disappointing performances at Euro 2024 and the Nations League, with Belgium facing a relegation play-off in March.
- Domenico Tedesco was dismissed as Belgium's national football team coach after underwhelming results in 2024 competitions.
- Belgium exited Euro 2024 in the round of 16 and finished third in their Nations League group, winning only one of six matches.
- Tedesco's tenure began strongly in 2023, but his final ten matches saw only two victories, including a loss to Israel in the Nations League.
- A fallout with star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who refused to play under Tedesco, added to tensions during his leadership.
- The Belgian football association has not announced a replacement yet, but media reports suggest Rudi Garcia and Thierry Henry as potential candidates.
