Belgium appointed former Roma, Napoli and Marseille coach Rudi Garcia as its new coach.
The 60-year-old is replacing Domenico Tedesco Who was sacked last week after a string of disappointing results, including a round-of-16 exit in last year's European Championship and a poor performance in the UEFA Nations League.
Thierry Henry was the favorite for the role, but the job was handed to another Frenchman, Garcia.

This will be his first experience in international management.
Garcia's last job was with Italian team Napoli, but he was sacked after just 16 matches in 2023.
Belgium, ranked eighth in the FIFA world rankings, will face Ukraine in the European Nations League qualifiers next March.
Tedesco was signed in February 2023 with the aim of reviving the Red Devils after a disappointing end to the Roberto Martinez era at the World Cup in Qatar.
