If it happens once, file it under hostile circumstances. If it happens twice, you’ve got a big problem.That should be a standard way of thinking, but it’s not something Belgiums are concerned about. Despite two disappointing tournaments in a row – and too early exits – Roberto Martinez will stay in charge of the Red Devils, the Belgium football association announced on Monday.The fact that the number one side in the FIFA rankings hasn’t won a single trophy in the last couple of years obviously doesn’t botter those which should. So Martinez’s saga continues… Only, with Hazard, De Bruyne and others may be too old for the next massive thing – the 2022 FIFA World Cup.𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 It’s heartbreak for @DeBruyneKev and Belgium as Italy win on the night 💙#BEL 1-2 #ITA ⚽️ #Euro2020 🔷 #ManCity | https://t.co/axa0klD5re pic.twitter.com/sEQjFCvR2V— Manchester City (@ManCity) July 2, 2021 Peter Bossaert, chief executive officer of the Belgian Football Association, insisted that plans are already underway for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, with Martinez taking the helm.”Today, we start preparations for the September and October games. Roberto Martinez will be there. No official communication will follow, but there is no reason to change the staff,” Bossaert said.Bossaert expects Martinez to be in charge for the World Cup finals late next year.”I don’t have the feeling he will step down,” he said. “There is no problem with him at the moment. There will be no real evaluation because, as with any successful business, we have a culture of permanent evaluation.”
