The Belgian Football Federation has announced the appointment of Domenico Tedesco as head coach of the Belgian national team..
37-year-old German specialist signed a contract before the end of Euro 2024. Tedesco replaced Roberto Martinez at the helm of the Red Devils, who was sacked after the team's elimination from the 2022 World Cup.. At the Mundial in Qatar, the Belgians sensationally failed to get into the playoffs.
For Tedesco, this will be the first work at the national team level.. Previously, he worked only in club football - he headed the German Schalke and RB Leipzig, and also from 2019 to 2021 was the head coach of Spartak Moscow..
Tedesco's last job was at RB Leipzig, from where he was fired last September after a crushing defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk (1:4) in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
Belgium will face Austria, Sweden, Azerbaijan and Estonia in Group F in Euro 2024 qualifiers. The Belgians will play their first qualifying match on March 24 against the Swedes..
Recall that ex-coach of the Belgian national team Roberto Martinez headed the Portuguese national team.
