Roberto Martinez steps down as Belgium boss – insists he ‘built a legacy’ despite poor World CupRoberto Martinez has confirmed that Belgium’s 0-0 draw against Croatia in the World Cup group stages will be his last game in charge of the European side.
“I’ve been six years with the national team. I arrived with a clear job of qualifying for the World Cup and you get so engaged with the project and the people behind the players. Belgium finished third in Group F, behind winners Morocco and Croatia, having previously beaten Canada 1-0 before losing 2-0 to the North Africans.
“Today was a performance and I felt we were the better team. We created better chances. Croatia are a great side and I felt today, had we gone through, you would have seen the real Belgium.” Dalic said: “I certainly expected a difficult match against a great team. Belgium cannot play three matches in a row in a very bad manner and this was a decisive match.
