Romelu Lukaku, the forward of the Italian football team "Napoli", has criticized Domenico Tedesco, the former head coach of the Belgian national team, who was recently dismissed from the Turkish club "Fenerbahçe".
Idman.Biz reports that the forward, speaking ahead of the 2026 World Cup, stated that there was serious discontent in the team during EURO-2024. Lukaku said that the players did not trust Tedesco's game plan.
"As a player, you immediately understand some things on the field. We felt that the plan wouldn't work. You can ask Kevin de Bruyne about this as well. Many young players felt the same, but they couldn't voice it for fear of losing their place in the squad. This situation created serious disappointment in the team. We were not satisfied with him," Lukaku said.
The Belgian forward also revealed that they wanted Thierry Henry to take over the national team after Roberto Martinez. According to him, the players thought that the former French forward knew the team better.
Lukaku spoke more positively about the new head coach of the Belgian national team, Rudi Garcia. He stated that the French specialist listens to the players' opinions, but makes the final decision himself. According to the forward, this approach was well received within the team.
