New discoveries shed new light on the riot between Courtois and Tedesco | Football24

We now know that Thibaut Courtois will not be there. However, new discoveries about the red devil have now emerged. Courtois left the Belgian team last year after a dispute over the captaincy.

Courtois wanted to captain against Austria in his 100th cap, in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne. However, national team coach Domenico Tedesco chose to award this belt to Romelu Lukaku. Courtois will wear the belt against Estonia. This and some other things made Courtois so angry that he left the selection.

A painful issue that will never be resolved. So he won’t be there for the European Championships. It has now emerged on Sjotcast that attention has been given to this dispute with national coach Tedesco in the documentary about Courtois. A Spanish journalist revealed that he spoke with Roberto Martinez, the former coach of the national team.

Tensions

Martinez acknowledged that there have been tensions around the leadership of the Red Devils for some time. He was the national coach of the Belgians between 2016 and 2022. Martinez succeeded in defusing the whole thing, something Tedesco failed to do.

After the last World Cup, Tedesco decided to make De Bruyne captain when he was appointed. This must have created new tensions. Not everyone will be satisfied with that.
