Mark van Bommel named Belgium coach through Euro 2028

Dutch football icon Mark van Bommel will take over as coach of the Belgian men's national team, the country's football association announced. The contract will run through Euro 2028.

Van Bommel most recently came from a spell at Belgian side Royal Antwerp, where he was in charge between 2022 and 2024.

The 49-year-old has also coached German club Wolfsburg and PSV Eindhoven during his coaching career.

He has a solid playing career behind him, having played for big clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Milan - where he was a teammate of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He won 79 caps for the Netherlands.

Belgium reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, where they were too strong for defending champions Spain. They were led there by Rudi Garcia, whose contract is now expiring.
