World Cup: Belgium coach Roberto Martinez leaves role after exit

Published on December 02, 2022 at 02:14 AM

Roberto Martinez has ended his tenure as Belgium head coach following the team’s early exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Martinez was appointed back in 2016 and was out of contract after the 2022 World Cup.

Belgium, who claimed the third position in the 2018 World Cup, went into the tournament as the world’s second-ranked team.

But they were eliminated after a poor group stage, which saw them lose against Morocco and draw against Croatia.

“That was my last game. It was emotional, as you can imagine,”; Martinez said at his post-match press conference after Belgium’s World Cup exit following their 0-0 draw against Croatia on Thursday.

“The decision was taken just before the World Cup. I always work towards long-term projects and they need to be set in advance.

“Since 2018 I have had many opportunities to leave to take jobs at club level. I always wanted to be loyal and finish the job. I don’t resign – it’s the end of my contract. That was always the plan.”;
