Belgium’s football association confirms that Rudi Garcia will leave his role as national team manager when his contract ends. The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) decides not to extend the agreement beyond the end of July, meaning Garcia’s tenure concludes after about 18 months in charge.

Garcia takes over from Domenico Tedesco last year, becoming Belgium’s head coach in a period that follows a previous change in leadership. The announcement states that he departs as the contract expires rather than being removed mid-term.

The BBC and Yahoo Sports both report that the RBFA has opted against a new contract and that the departure is tied to the scheduled end of July. No additional details about a successor are included in the provided reports. The announcements are framed as an official decision by the RBFA regarding the duration of Garcia’s employment as Belgium manager.
