The Spanish specialist Roberto Martinez left the position of head coach of the Belgium national football team.
About this the team's official Twitter said.
Martinez announced his decision to leave immediately after his side failed to advance from Group F to the 2022 World Cup play-offs in Qatar.
The Belgians scored four points and finished third in the quartet behind Morocco and Croatia. In the last round, Belgium could not beat the Croatians – 0:0.
49-year-old Roberto Martinez led the Belgian national team since 2016. Before that, the Spaniard coached “Swansea”, “Wigan” and “Everton” in England.
This is not the first coaching resignation against the background of the World Cup in Qatar. Previously, the head coach of the Iranian national team, Carlos Queiroz, left his position after losing to the USA (0:1).
