ꦕThe 39-year-old, who was under contract until 2026, leaves the Red Devils following a poor run of form that saw him win just two of his final 10 matches at the helm.

Tedesco succeeded Roberto Martinez in February 2023 after Belgium's group-stage exit from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

βœƒThe former Leipzig boss oversaw a 13-match unbeaten start to his reign, but it appeared the squad were unsettled behind the scenes, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois making himself unavailable for selection.

πŸŽ€The Red Devils then exited Euro 2024 at the last-16 stage and endured a disappointing Nations League campaign, winning just one of their six matches in Group A2 and narrowly surviving relegation to League B.

𝕴"I was always proud to be the coach of the Red Devils, we achieved great things together," Tedesco told the Royal Belgian Football Assocation (RBFA) website. "A beautiful journey is now unfortunately coming to an end.

πŸ’ž"I am 100% sure that the team will confidently qualify for the World Cup. This team is still at the beginning of its development and will cause a sensation in the coming years.

β™Œ"I wish the players, the great employees of the federation and the fans all the best from the bottom of my heart."
