Former Real Madrid coach is a candidate to coach Belgium
Press reports revealed that the Spanish Julen Lopetegui, the former coach of Real Madrid, has entered the list of candidates to coach the Belgium national team, succeeding the former coach Tedesco, who was dismissed from his position due to poor results. Lopetegui is going through difficult days in his coaching career, as he was dismissed just one week ago, after he was coaching Wolverhampton, and failed to achieve positive results with them. The Belgium national team is looking to appoint the Spanish coach to take over, as indicated by the Spanish newspaper Eldesmarque, in the hope that he will return the team to compete in all continental championships. Lopetegui faces a major struggle, as Thierry is also nominated for this task, who previously worked with the Belgian national team as an assistant to coach Roberto Martinez in leading the team during the 2018 World Cup. It is noteworthy that Lopetegui previously coached the Spanish national team and qualified with them for the 2018 World Cup, which makes him a strong candidate to take over this position.
