Tedesco's Tenure Ends: Belgium Parts Ways with Coach
Belgium has sacked coach Domenico Tedesco following a string of disappointing results, including a poor showing in the European Championship and Nations League. Tedesco's contract was set to run until 2026.
Tedesco was formally informed of the decision at a meeting of the Belgian Football Association on Friday, according to reports. His departure marks the end of a tenure that was initially set to run until 2026. Tedesco's time in charge was marked by disappointing performances, including Belgium's early exit from the European Championship last year and a lackluster showing in the Nations League.
The final nail in Tedesco's coffin came in November, when Belgium suffered a defeat at the hands of Israel in a Nations League match held in neutral Hungary. This loss proved to be the last straw, rendering Tedesco's position as coach untenable.

Additionally, Belgium struggled in the Nations League, finishing third in their group in the second half of 2024 with a dismal record of one win in six matches.
The decisive blow to Tedesco's position came in November, when Belgium suffered a demoralizing loss to Israel in a Nations League match played in neutral Hungary. This defeat proved to be the last straw, making Tedesco's position as coach unsustainable.
