Appointed coach of the Belgian national team on January 24, after the ouster of Domenico Tedesco (author of a catastrophic passage), Rudi Garcia will not unemployment in the coming weeks. The Red Devils, 3rd of the group of the French team in the League of Nations (ahead of Israel thanks to a better difference in goals), compete for the Dams Ligue A/Ligue B against Ukraine, with a first leg in Spain (in Murcia) on March 20 and then a return round in Genk three days later. The French technician may have the opportunity to relaunch Thibaut Courtois, who reopened the door to his selection after being in conflict with Tedesco.

Belgium must above all avoid being afraid in qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, ending at the top of its group, the J. Only the hen winners will be directly qualified for the “World Cup 26”. The Belgians were part of the heads of the start of the draw and came across Wales as the main opponent, in addition to the North Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein. They will start next June 6 in Skopje before receiving the Welshmen at the King-Baudouin stadium on 9, for the first from Garcia to Brussels.

Belgium dropped by Wales?

But Romelu Lukaku his teammates are in an unprecedented situation: they inherited a group of five teams and their four opponents begin their qualifiers in March. Liechtenstein-Macedonia of the North and Wales-Kazakhstan are on the program on March 22, Liechtenstein-Kazakhstan and Macedonia of North Galles on the one hand, the Belgians will be virtually eliminated with zero point after the first two days of the group, but The Welshman of Sorba Thomas (Nantes) and Jordan James (Rennes) could also have six units in advance!

The choice of the Belgian Federation to entrust its selection to Rudi Garcia is particularly doubtful. The French champion 2011 with Lille knows how to sell perfectly during his job interviews, but he has entered the failures lately. Finalist of the Europa League in 2018 with the OM and semi-finalist of the Champions League in 2020 with OL, the former midfielder lived in chaotic course in the Phocaeans and the Gones then did not Not managed to Al-Nasser (despite the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo) and Napoli (where he was fired after 16 games in 2023).
