The Royal Belgian FA has posted a job advert online to find the successor to Roberto Martinez after their poor World Cup campaign.

Belgium, who came into the World Cup sitting in second place in the FIFA rankings, suffered a humiliating group stage exit at Qatar 2022 after failing to register a single win from their three matches. After elimination was confirmed following a 0-0 draw against Croatia on December 1, Martinez decided to step down as head coach after six years in the role. The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) has wasted no time in trying to find the next manager for the national team as they have formally advertised the position online.

The RBFA job posting reads: ''The Royal Belgian FA is looking for a full-time national team coach who knows how to win. The new national team coach is extremely ambitious and has the necessary international experience at top level, football tactical knowledge and insights as well as the right personal skills.

''He is a serial winner with experience in managing top players. He knows how to focus on creating a close-knit group and how to integrate young players. The football association is looking for a tactical expert who supports his choices with data, technology and objective parameters and draws on RBFA’s sporting expertise and structure.''
