The Royal Belgian Football Association has reached an agreement with Mark van Bommel regarding his appointment as head coach of the national team. According to insider Fabrizio Romano, the contract with the 49-year-old specialist from the Netherlands will be valid until the summer of 2028. An official announcement on the appointment of a new coach is expected soon. It is noted that Van Bommel will replace Rudi Garcia at the head of the Belgian national team, whose contract was not renewed after the 2026 World Cup. At the world championship, the Belgian team, led by a French coach, reached the quarterfinals, where they lost 1:2 to the eventual winner of the tournament, Spain.. Let's remember that Van Bommel's last place of work was Antwerp, which he headed from 2022 to 2024, winning the league title, the Cup and the Belgian Super Cup. Previously, the Dutchman also worked for PSV and Wolfsburg, and was also part of the coaching staff of the national teams of Saudi Arabia and Australia. Earlier it was reported that the Belgian forward became the author of the record at the 2026 World Cup.
