Belgium is one of the sixteen countries that have qualified for the 1/8th finals of the European Championship, but the Red Devils did not exactly impress. The criticism against Domenico Tedesco is therefore increasing noticeably. Nevertheless, dismissal is not an option.
Tedesco was appointed in early 2023 as successor to Roberto Martinez, who called it quits after the failed World Cup in Qatar. The Italian German was supposed to bring a breath of fresh air in the transitional phase after the so-called ‘Golden Generation’. And he initially succeeded quite well.
For example, the Devils now showed themselves to be more flexible on a tactical level than under Martinez and are slightly less predictable. And Tedesco also managed to provide the selection with a much-needed refresh. And he led his team to qualification for the European Championship in quite convincing fashion.
Not a good turn at European Championships
Within the KBVB, people were satisfied with the work of the national coach. There had been speculation for some time about a possible contract extension. In the most logical case, this would have been waited until after the European Championship. But early on, his deal was broken up until after the 2026 World Cup.
Since then, however, more and more doubts have emerged. During the European Championship, for example, Tedesco did not do a very good job with his tactical choices. His way of communicating is also increasingly causing annoyance. And of course the soap opera surrounding Thibaut Courtois continues to cause a bitter feeling.
Sufficient credit at KBVB
However, dismissal of the national coach is not on the agenda, according to reports The Importance of Limburg. Even if everything goes wrong against France on Monday at the European Championship, the KBVB does not intend to end the collaboration. Behind the scenes, he is even fully defended by the federation top. And Tedesco himself is said to have no intention of ending it prematurely. The expectation is that Tedesco will continue his rejuvenation and renewal operation after the European Championship.
