Roberto Martinez will no longer be the coach of the Belgian national team. The Spaniard’s departure from the position was announced by the national federation shortly after the Red Devils were reportedly knocked out of the World Cup after the group stage. It turns out that the decision, which was announced at a critical moment, was not caused by the team’s disastrous results at the world championship.

Roberto Martinez leaves the Belgian national team

Roberto Martinez has announced that he is retiring as manager of the Belgian Red Devils. The decision was taken before the start of the World Cup in Qatar,” the federation’s official statement said on Twitter.

Despite this, it seems that the choice made by the Spanish coach will be good for him and for the team he led. There has been a lot of talk lately about the Belgian national team, but mostly in a negative context. The bad atmosphere around the team and within itself was only underlined by the very poor results obtained during the World Cup. Reminder: The Red Devils didn’t drop out of the group, despite picking up four points on their tally. First, the Benelux team beat Canada 1-0, then lost 0-2 to Morocco, before drawing on matchday three. with Croatia 0-0.

Although Martinez has managed the Belgians since 2016, he hasn’t achieved any of the big hits expected of him. In the 2018 World Cup, this team took third place, which was seen as unsatisfactory. At Euro 2020, the Red Devils were knocked out in the quarter-finals and have now bid farewell to the World Cup after the group stage.
