Thibaut Courtois: “I have decided not to return to the Belgian NT under this manager”.
“In this matter, I accept my share of responsibility”.
“However, looking forward, my lack of confidence in him would not contribute to maintaining the necessary atmosphere”.
Thibaut Courtois Posted This on his twitter account.
I want to address the Belgian fans and supporters of our national team.
I feel immense love and pride in representing my country on the pitch, as well as every one of you who supports the Red Devils. I feel privileged to have had the honor of wearing the national jersey. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined being able to do so more than 100 times.
Unfortunately, following the events with the coach and after much reflection, I have decided not to return to the Belgian national team under his management. In this matter, I accept my share of responsibility.
However, looking forward, my lack of confidence in him would not contribute to maintaining the necessary atmosphere of cordiality.
The Federation, with whom I have had several discussions, accepts my position and the reasons that led me to this painful but coherent decision. I regret possibly disappointing some fans, but I am convinced that this is the best course of action for Belgium, as it closes a debate and allows the team to focus on pursuing its goals.
Thank you for your unwavering support, love, and understanding.
