Belgium, who claimed the third position in the 2018 World Cup, went into the tournament as the world’s second-ranked team.

But they were eliminated after a poor group stage, which saw them lose against Morocco and draw against Croatia.

“That was my last game. It was emotional, as you can imagine,” Martinez said at his post-match press conference after Belgium’s World Cup exit following their 0-0 draw against Croatia on Thursday.

“The decision was taken just before the World Cup. I always work towards long-term projects and they need to be set in advance.

“Since 2018 I have had many opportunities to leave to take jobs at club level.
