The Portuguese Sérgio Conceição was once again placed on the Belgian team's path, after the dismissal of the Frenchman Rudi García, following his elimination in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
The Portuguese coach revealed that he received a proposal from the Belgian Football Federation to take over the national team's destiny, following the departure of Domenico Tedesco.
Sérgio Conceição ended up not joining the Red Devils, who opted to sign Rudi Garcia, but the opportunity may have knocked on the former FC Porto coach's door again.
According to Sacha Tavalorieri, who specializes in the transfer market, the Portuguese coach is one of the candidates to take over the national team's destiny, already thinking about the Nations League and qualifying for Euro-2028.
At 51 years old, Sérgio Conceição finds himself without a club, after ending his time at Al-Ittihad Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia. The former FC Porto coach, who also coached clubs such as Milan and Nantes, spent time in Belgium as a player and, later, assistant at Standard Liège.
