Ex-Barcelona and Bayern player eyes Belgium coach role
Belgian media reports indicate that the Belgian Football Association has decided to appoint Dutchman Mark van Bommel as the head coach of the Belgian national team, succeeding French coach Rudi Garcia, whose contract will not be renewed despite a good performance at the 2026 World Cup. The team reached the quarter-finals before losing to Spain. Van Bommel is expected to sign a contract until the end of Euro 2028. He is experienced both as a player and a coach, having won the UEFA Champions League with Barcelona, being the first non-German captain of Bayern Munich, and achieving success with various European clubs. He also earned 79 international caps with the Netherlands. This change comes as part of the Belgian FA's effort to bring in a younger, more modern coach, especially following differing views between Garcia and the players, as well as the team's performance at the World Cup.
