The Belgian national team is turning the page on Domenico Tedesco’s tenure with the appointment of Rudi Garcia as their new head coach.
After weeks of searching, the Belgian federation announced the arrival of the 60-year-old Frenchman, who has been without a club since his brief stint at Napoli in 2023.
Tedesco, who succeeded Roberto Martinez, had a tumultuous two years with Belgium, managing 12 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses. His time was marked by controversies, including his strained relationships with key players like Thibaut Courtois and challenges involving Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku. These issues, combined with inconsistent results, led to his dismissal on January 17.
Rudi Garcia was introduced this Friday during a press conference, where he shared his vision for leading the Red Devils into a new era. Known for his tactical acumen and strong personality, Garcia convinced the federation during interviews, edging out other candidates such as Thierry Henry. The Frenchman now faces the challenge of revitalizing Belgium’s golden generation and steering them toward future success.
