Can Rudi Garcia get the constantly underperforming Belgian national football team in order?

The 60-year-old Frenchman has been appointed as the new national team coach after Domenico Tedesco was recently fired.

Garcia has, among other things, coached Roma, Marseille, Lyon, and most recently Napoli – where he was fired after just 16 matches.

Star-studded Belgium was eliminated already in the round of 16 in the European Championship last summer. Last week, the news came that Domenico Tedesco would not be allowed to continue leading the national team.
