Thierry Henry has joined the Belgium coaching staff on a permanent basis until after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Henry helped Belgium reach the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia before taking over as Monaco boss.
The Arsenal legend moved to the MLS with Montreal Impact in 2019 after he was sacked by Ligue 1 club Monaco.
Henry ended his spell as Impact head coach in February last year and returned to the Belgium set-up for the rearranged Euro 2020.
The Royal Belgian Football Association on Monday revealed the 44-year-old will be working under Martinez as the Red Devils bid to win a first ma…

Marko Arnautovic thinks he let Slaven Bilic down and his poor form did little to prevent the Croatian from being sacked as West Ham boss last November.
Arnautovic joined West Ham for a reported £24million from Stoke City ahead of last season, but he endured a difficult start.
The Austrian did not score his first Premier League goal for the club until December, just over a month after Bilic was dismissed.
Some critics pointed the finger at Arnautovic, with his lack of form highlighted as a potential contributor to Bilic s downfall, particularly given he went on to score 11 times in the league under David Moyes.
Arnautovic insists it is harsh to suggest Bilic lost his job because of him, though he accepts he probably let the former Hammers player and manag…

Louis van Gaal is not convinced that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has changed Manchester United s style since taking over from Jose Mourinho and believes he is guilty of park-the-bus tactics .
Solskjaer has revitalised United s form and morale since taking over on a caretaker basis following Mourinho s departure in December.
Although consecutive defeats to Arsenal in the Premier League and Wolves in the FA Cup have dented their campaign, United have got themselves back into the top-four race and the quarter-finals of the Champions League under their former striker.
No decision on a permanent appointment has yet been announced, but while admitting that Solskjaer deserves credit for creating a more positive atmosphere, Van Gaal – who managed the club between 2014 and 2…
Eden Hazard is very close to a return to full fitness as Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane refuted suggestions the forward lacked professionalism.
The Belgium star has struggled to find his rhythm in Spain following his initial €100million switch from Chelsea in June last year.

I think he s very close to a return, said Zidane. He is prepared and training well with the team.
The issue is that he hasn t b…
