BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium coach Roberto Martínez has signed a new contract to lead the Red Devils through the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Belgian federation said on Wednesday that the 46-year-old Martínez, who previously coached Premier League teams Everton and Wigan, will also continue in his role as technical director for the federation for two more years.
“The corona crisis has slowed things down somewhat, but the contract extension has been completed and is now official,” the federation said.
“This will allow Roberto Martínez to continue his work, lay the foundations for the future of Belgian football and train the person who will succeed him as technical director after the 2022 World Cup.
