In a significant shift, Belgium's national football team saw the departure of coach Ives Serneels after 14 years due to underwhelming playoff performances. Elisabet Gunnarsdottir took the helm, steering the team to a commendable third-place finish in a challenging Nations League group. Her tactical approach of a 5-4-1 formation emphasizes quick transitions and utilizing speedy players like Tessa Wullaert. While the team has experienced success in tough matches, Gunnarsdottir acknowledges the need to refine their buildup play before Euro 2025.
"She moved to a 5-4-1 out of possession and is trying to make Belgium a team that thrives on quick transitions."
"We still have to improve a lot there. During the Nations League campaign, Belgium often panicked slightly when they had the ball."
