Rudi Garcia to Leave Belgium Coaching Role After 2026 World Cup Quarter-Finals
Rudi Garcia will step down as Belgium's head coach after guiding the team to the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they were eliminated by eventual champions Spain. Appointed in early 2025, Garcia led Belgium through a transitional period, maintaining their place in UEFA Nations League A and integrating younger players alongside veterans. The Belgian Football Association thanked him for restoring team cohesion and achieving a strong World Cup result. His contract expires at the end of July, with a new coaching cycle forthcoming.
