Selection process for the Head Coach of the Belgian Red Devils starts
With the publication of the vacancy on all RBFA channels, the RBFA officially launched today the selection process for a new national team coach.
Even after the early elimination at the World Cup in Qatar, the RBFA remains very ambitious for the future. All elements are in place to remain successful in the future. It is up to the new national team coach to work with what is in place and lead us to new successes.
The RBFA is looking for a full-time national team coach who knows how to win. The new national team coach is extremely ambitious and has the necessary international experience at top level, football tactical knowledge and insights as well as the right personal skills. He is a serial winner with experience in managing top players. He knows how to focus on creating a close-knit group and how to integrate young players. The football association is looking for a tactical expert who supports his choices with data, technology and objective parameters and draws on RBFA's sporting expertise and structure.
Applications must be received before 10 January 2023, after which the selection process will be initiated by the Taskforce.
Duo at the helm of technical core
In recent years, the RBFA has been working on solid sporting foundations. The technical heart brings together everything related to the sporting organization: the national (youth) teams, the football vision across the different age groups, data and technology, performance analysis, scouting and talent detection, health and performance, futsal, and this for both men's and women's teams.
The technical core will be led by a strong complementary duo. Besides Operational Director Football (Jelle Schelstraete), who leads the sporting organization, the RBFA will be looking for a Sports Director Elite Football, who will guard the football vision for the various national teams and manage the national team coaches.
"We have taken extensive time with the Taskforce over the past few days to evaluate the sporting situation. We are unanimously on the same page and remain particularly ambitious. We believe strongly in this generation of football players. The RBFA will now look for a new top coach to lead us to new successes. The technical core will be led by a duo and reinforced with a football profile with international experience at the highest level."
Peter Bossaert, CEO of the RBFA
