Bobby Martinez on Talksport now. AMA job.

Belgium have explicitly said what they want for their next coach:
Fancy a job managing the world's second-ranked team?
Want to lead the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Thibaut Courtois at their next major tournament?
Well applications for one of the best jobs in football have opened - but you have to be a "serial winner" to apply.

They've also blocked any candidates from Spain as it turns out that "Serial winner" is translated to "Cereal box winner" in Spanish and this led to an undesirable getting the job last time out.
72% win rate. More wins than any manager in their history. Best WC tournament run in their history.

Good luck bettering that.
 

I thought he performed at the upper end of the expectation scale with Belgium.

They were never going to win a World Cup.

If Southgate's performance as England manager is seen as credible by and large, surely this applies even more to what Martinez has done?

If there is regret, it will be from the last Euros but even then the squad was creaking.

He can't have been confident that there was anyone good enough to replace the likes of Vertonghen and Alderweireld in particular, and had to go again with them.

They have no credible striker either and on another day Lukaku would have nabbed a couple against Croatia. He is on a downward trajectory now too.

The only players of world-class pedigree they have are De Bruyne and Courtois.
