THE Belgian FA have posted a public job advert for their managerial vacancy and are looking for someone “who knows how to win”.
This comes after Roberto Martinez left his role following their disastrous World Cup in Qatar.
The Red Devils scored just once and ended up crashing out in the group stages behind Morocco and Croatia after drawing to the latter.
It brought an end to Martinez’s six-year reign as manager after taking charge of the last four tournaments.
He guided Belgium to the top of the Fifa world rankings in 2018 following a perfect Euros qualifying campaign.
But they never lived up to their Golden Generation tag and failed to reach a major final under the Spaniard’s guidance.
They reached the semi-finals at Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup, but progressively got worse, going out in the quarter-finals at Euro 2020 before their group stage exit in Qatar.
And the search for a replacement is already underway.
The Belgium FA wrote: “Even after the early elimination at the World Cup in Qatar, the RBFA remains very ambitious for the future.
“All elements are in place to remain successful in the future.
