The majority of the Belgium squad wanted boss Roberto Martinez out before the World Cup - partly because of his 'gutless' decision to persist with Eden Hazard, it has emerged.
An emotional Martinez announced that he would be leaving his role as the head of the Belgian national team after six years at the helm following their premature exit from the World Cup. Despite being fancied to go deep into the tournament, Belgium flattered to deceive and failed to progress from Group F, where they won just one of their three games.
The current tournament in Qatar represented the final opportunity for some of the current crop of Belgium players, dubbed the "Golden Generation", to live up to their billing. But after failing to do so, the inquest into a disastrous World Cup campaign is now in full swing.
