Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has announced that he will not return to the Belgian national team as long as it is managed by Domenico Tedesco.
"I have decided not to return to the Belgian national team under this manager. I take my share of responsibility in this matter.
However, looking ahead, my distrust in him will not help maintain the necessary atmosphere," Courtois wrote on his X page.
The conflict between the goalkeeper and the manager began in the spring. At that time, a disagreement arose between them, which led to Courtois accusing Tedesco of lying.
Belgian media claimed that the conflict happened because the goalkeeper was unhappy with the coach's words about the captain's armband.
