In an interview with Sky Italia on Sunday, Romelu Lukaku said that Thierry Henry “must be the new coach of Belgium,” after the departure of Robert Martinez.
Henry was an assistant to Roberto Martinez, who stepped down as coach after the Red Devils were eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup on 1 December.
“He has to take over the team,” said Lukaku. “He has a winning mentality, has won everything in his career and has respect for every player.”

“He knows how we should train and achieve our goals. He is the right man but I don’t know if he will be taken. In any case, the new coach will not have to start from scratch. Our generation may not have won anything but the base is there,” Lukaku added.
Lukaku is one of three players who will be involved in the selection of the new coach along with Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois.
