The new head coach of the Belgium national team, Mark van Bommel, shared his first thoughts after being promoted to the national team.

" I would like to thank the Royal Belgian Football Association for the trust that they gave me.

Belgium has outstanding advantages and great potential. Together with my coaching staff, we want to create a team that is disciplined, ambitious and brave enough to achieve the greatest challenges..

There are no guarantees of success, but hard work, honesty and integrity - so. We are doing everything we can to help this team improve every day and encourage the Belgian people to write to us.

I’m looking forward to keeping up with the staff, staff and patients and the beginning of this new chapter at once,” the press service of the Belgian Football Association quotes Van Bommel as saying..

Guess what, at the last emergency in 2026, Belgium reached the quarterfinals, where they lost to Spain (1:2).
