Belgium have appointed former Roma, Napoli and Marseille coach Rudi Garcia as their new manager.
The sixty-year-old replaces Domenico Tedesco who was sacked last week after a string of disappointing results, including a round of 16 exit from last year’s European Championship and a poor performance in the Nations League.
Thierry Henry was the first favorite for the role, but another Frenchman was given the job, Garcia.

This will be his first foray into international management.
Garcia’s last job was in Serie A Napoli, but he was fired after just 16 games in charge in 2023.
Belgium, eighth in the FIFA world rankings, will face Ukraine in the Nations League play-offs in March.
Tedesco was hired in February 2023 with the aim of reviving the Red Devils after a disappointing end to the Roberto Martinez era at the World Cup in Qatar.
