"I Made Mistakes...": Thibaut Courtois Openly Clears Air On Refusing To Play For Belgium

Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says he explained his decision to refuse to play for the national team under former coach Domenico Tedesco "in front of the squad" after his return to the fold. The Real Madrid number one had a public falling out with Tedesco after not being named captain for a game against Austria in June 2023, saying he felt "insulted". But the 32-year-old is set to return on Thursday in a Nations League relegation play-off against Ukraine after being named in new coach Rudi Garcia's first squad. "When I arrived (at the training centre), it was good to be able to speak in front of the players because a lot of false things have been said," Courtois told reporters on Tuesday.

Ruben Dias Back For Cristiano Ronaldo-Led Portugal Against Denmark

Ruben Dias has returned to the Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portuguese squad for their upcoming Nations League quarter-final against Denmark. Manchester City defender Dias, 27, had been sidelined with a muscular injury picked up in Premier League action. Sporting Lisbon's teenage striker Geovany Quenda has also earned a callup for the first time. "At 17, being in the national team shows his potential," said coach Roberto Martinez, insisting the youngster's age was "not a problem". "What matters is quality, commitment and work," the Spaniard told a press conference. The choice of those who are selected was "meticulous and professional", according to Martinez.

Belgium Sack National Team Coach Domenico Tedesco

Belgium's football association on Friday announced the sacking of national team coach Domenico Tedesco after disappointing performances at Euro 2024 and in the Nations League. "Unfortunately, the Red Devils did not perform as we hoped at Euro 2024, just as they did in the next Nations League campaign," the football association (RBFA) said on their website. Tedesco was appointed in February 2023 to replace Roberto Martinez and rebuild the squad as the country's "golden generation" departed. Tedesco's team qualified for Euro 2024 but were eliminated in the last 16 by France, who then beat Belgium twice more in the Nations League as the Red Devils finished third in their group.
