Belgium Parts Ways with National Football Coach Domenico Tedesco

The Belgian FA ends Tedesco's tenure following mixed performances and disagreements with the new sporting director.

Domenico Tedesco, who took over as Belgium's national football coach in February 2023, has been relieved of his duties by the Belgian Football Association.
Tedesco's tenure saw some highlights, including a historic 3-2 victory over Germany, but criticism grew after inconsistent performances and a narrow avoidance of relegation in the Nations League.
The decision to part ways reportedly stemmed from differences in vision between Tedesco and newly appointed sporting director Vincent Mannaert, who assumed his role in December 2024.
Belgium's search for a new coach is underway as the team prepares for Nations League playoffs against Ukraine in March and aims to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
Tedesco expressed pride in his time with the team, emphasizing its potential for future success and wishing players and fans well moving forward.
