Following Domenico Tedesco’s dismissal, Belgium’s football association named Frenchman Rudi Garcia as the new coach of the national team on Friday. The 60-year-old former manager of Napoli, Lyon, and Roma will be formally introduced to the media later today, according to the federation.
Garcia, who has led French powerhouse Marseille and Saudi team Al Nassr, will be tasked with reviving the Red Devils following a dismal Euro 2024 campaign.

Garcia’s most recent managerial attempt at Napoli lasted five months amid the team’s terrible post-Scudetto winning season in 2023.
From 2008 to 2013, the Frenchman gained recognition as a coach at Lille, a French team.
In June, Belgium will go to North Macedonia to begin their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign.As the nation’s “golden generation” left, former coach Tedesco was brought in in February 2023 to take Roberto Martinez’s position and rebuild the team.
