Thierry Henry among the top two candidates for the next Belgium national team head coach

Belgium's current head coach, Domenico Tedesco, is highly likely to be dismissed from his position. The Belgian Football Federation's board of directors has identified two leading candidates to replace Tedesco.

Details. According to L'Équipe, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is one of the two top contenders for the role of Belgium's next head coach.

Henry has previously served twice as an assistant coach for the Belgium national team under Roberto Martínez.

It is expected that Henry will compete for the position against former Napoli manager Rudi Garcia.

Reminder. Earlier reports indicated that if the Belgian federation decides to terminate Tedesco’s contract early, he would receive compensation of €750,000—half of his current annual salary. Tedesco’s contract with the Belgium national team runs until June 2026.
