Belgian Football Federation have surprisingly announced on LinkedIn that they are looking for another coach to handle their national team following the departure of Roberto Martínez.

Martínez failed to take Belgium far at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar where they were unable to make it out from the group stages with draw against Croatia in their last game.

A win for them against Croatia in their last game would have helped Belgium secure their place in the knockout round, but Romelu Lukaku missed a golden chance in the game.

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Anderlecht winger Francis Amuzu reportedly completed his nationality switch and will be available to play for the Black Stars of Ghana.

Born in Ghana, he left for Belgium at a young age, representing the youth teams of the Red Devils.

However, Amuzu has decided to pledge his international future to Ghana.

FIFA has granted the winger full permission to play for the Black Stars at senior level.

Amuzu represented Belgium at U19 and U21 levels and was handed a senior invite by former coach Roberto Martinez in 2021 for the matches against Wales and Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League.

However, the 23-year-old failed to play a minute of the two matches.

This season, Amuzu has scored three goals, provided three assists in 18 matches for Anderlecht.

Amuzu is on the radar of clubs from France with Marseille and Nice reportedly interested in his services.

Belgium-based Ghanaian attacker Francis Amuzu has explained why he prefers Belgium to the West African nation.
