Van Bommel Takes Charge of Belgium | Amsterdam News

Mark van Bommel, the Dutch tactician with a glittering playing career and a proven track record as a manager, has taken the reins as Belgium’s new national team coach — set to lead them all the way to Euro 2028. Just days after Rudi Garcia’s abrupt exit following Belgium’s World Cup quarterfinal exit, Van Bommel steps in with a stacked coaching staff including Boudewijn Zenden, Maarten Martens, and Reinier Robbemond — all familiar faces from his time at Antwerp. His first test? A high-stakes away clash with Italy in the Nations League on September 25. At 49, Van Bommel brings discipline, bravery, and a deep understanding of Belgian football — and he’s ready to turn the national team into a force to be reckoned with.
