"Belgium qualified for the World Cup with a thumping 7-0 triumph over Liechtenstein on Tuesday, marking Garcia's sixth win from his 10th game at the helm. Jeremy Doku and Charles De Ketelaere both starred at Stade Maurice Dufrasne, with Hans Vanaken, Brandon Mechele and Alexis Saelemaekers also getting on the scoresheet. Garcia's appointment came after Tedesco led Belgium to the round of 16 at Euro 2025, another poor showing by the Red Devils at a major international tournament."
""The new staff that has arrived is breathing something fresh, something new and, frankly, they are doing their job well and the group is behind them," Meunier explained. "They are two completely different staffs. We can't even compare them. There is one. It's really a new generation with always reinventing football, new exercises and new tactics. It's something enriching, but it's not necessarily within everyone's reach.""
Rudi Garcia replaced Domenico Tedesco in January and has won six of his ten matches in charge, guiding Belgium to World Cup qualification. Belgium thrashed Liechtenstein 7-0, with Jeremy Doku and Charles De Ketelaere starring and Hans Vanaken, Brandon Mechele and Alexis Saelemaekers also scoring. The team registered 23 shots, 13 on target, and an xG of 3.08 versus Liechtenstein's 0.04. Belgium produced a 1-1 draw against Kazakhstan in their previous match. Thomas Meunier praised the new coaching staff for fresh ideas, new tactics and strong group support after a disappointing Euro 2025 exit.
