High payoff for Wilmots a hurdle for Belgian FA
Print Edition
A PAYOFF of at least 1 million euros (US$1.11 million) for Belgium manager Marc Wilmots could be a problem and the national federation does not have the means to hire a big name to replace him, the federation’s head was quoted as saying.
“The indemnity for Marc Wilmots is at least 1 million euros,” Belgian football chief executive Gerard Linard said in an interview which appeared in several Belgian newspapers.
“That’s a problem for the federation as we do not have the same budget as France, Spain or Germany.”
Wilmots’s future was cast into doubt after Belgium, second in FIFA’s world rankings, crashed out of the ongoing European Championship in France by losing 1-3 to Wales in the quarterfinals, with critics saying he had failed to capitalize on a gifted generation of players led by Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne.
Linard said no decision on the future of Wilmots would be made until next week.
He was quick to dampen suggestions that Belgium would sign an internationally renowned manager such as Dutchman Louis van Gaal. “I believe an internationally renowned name such as van Gaal is not affordable for the Belgian federation... unless the manager in question makes some real concessions,” he said.
