Wilmots sacked belgium head coach

You're referring to the recent news in the world of football!

Yes, you're correct. Marc Wilmots, the Belgian national team's head coach since 2012, was indeed sacked on August 12, 2016. The decision was made by the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) after a disappointing Euro 2016 campaign, where Belgium was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Wales.

Wilmots' tenure as head coach was marked by some notable successes, including a third-place finish at the 2014 World Cup and a strong qualifying campaign for Euro 2016. However, his team's performance at the European Championship was seen as underwhelming, and the KBVB decided to make a change.

Wilmots was replaced by Roberto Martínez, a former manager of the Belgian club Wigan Athletic and the Spanish club Wigan Athletic, who was appointed as the new head coach of the Belgian national team on August 12, 2016.
