Domenico Tedesco Confirmed As New Belgium Manager Until After Euro 2024

Domenico Tedesco has been appointed as the new manager of the Belgian men's national team.

The 37-year-old has signed a contract with Belgium until after the European Championship in 2024.

Tedesco replaces Roberto Martinez, who called time on his six-year stint in the job following the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

"It is a great honor to be the new head coach of Belgium," Tedesco said on Wednesday.

"I'm really looking forward to the task and I'm extremely motivated. I had a very good feeling right from the first conversation."

Tedesco's first game as Belgium boss will be away to Sweden on March 24 in a Euro 2024 qualifier.

That will be Tedesco's first game in international soccer.

Tedesco, who was born in Italy but also has German citizenship, has previously managed RB Leipzig, Spartak Moscow and Schalke, after beginning his managerial career with Erzgebirge Aue in 2017.
