Vincent Kompany on shortlist to replace Roberto Martinez as Belgium manager following disastrous World Cup

Published on December 05, 2022 at 10:29 PM

VINCENT KOMPANY is on the short list to replace Roberto Martinez as Belgium boss.

The former Manchester City centre-back is currently working wonders in management after replacing Sean Dyche at Burnley.

The Clarets are currently top of the Championship, Kompany took over in the summer after leaving Anderlecht.

A poll in Belgium saw the legend voted the overwhelming choice of supporters.

Getting the national job would cap a meteoric rise up the management ranks but the likelihood is that it is too early for a man still cutting his teeth in the dugout.

The hot favourite to replace the departing Martinez is Herve Renard, the man who masterminded one of the biggest World Cup shocks in history.

Renard, 54, became global headline news when he inspired Saudi Arabia to a come-from-behind group stage win over Argentina a fortnight ago.

The Frenchman is a vastly experienced manager and his CV includes leading Morocco into the last World Cup and two African Cup of Nations triumphs with Ivory Coast and Zambia.

Yet his most recent domestic job – as Lille boss – lasted just six months, when he was axed after getting only 13 points from 13 games.

Former Belgian keeper Michel Preud’homme, now vice president and sporting director of Standard Liege, is the another name in the frame.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP

Martinez stepped down as Belgian chief after their disappointing group stage exit in Qatar.

The Spaniard was out of contract and insisted he always planned to leave after the World Cup – just not as early as he eventually did.

Whoever replaces him will have plenty of work to do with rifts reported between Belgium’s players.
