Mark van Bommel is set to take charge of the Belgium national team, signing a contract until June 2028 to replace Rudi Garcia.
Belgium have finalized the search for their new manager, with the appointment set to guide the Red Devils through the upcoming international cycle. The Belgian federation confirmed the departure of French boss Rudi Garcia following the team's quarter-final exit at the 2026 World Cup, where they were defeated 2-1 by Spain.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the federation has secured an agreement with Dutchman Mark van Bommel. The contract is set to run until June 2028, with the manager ready to take the reins of the national team's technical setup.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich midfielder brings managerial experience from previous stints at PSV Eindhoven, Wolfsburg, and Royal Antwerp. His appointment marks a fresh start for a Belgian side looking to bounce back from their World Cup campaign.
