Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Belgium’s executive sports director Chris Van Puyvelde said: “Roberto Martínez’ assistant coach will be Graeme Jones.
“Thierry Henry will be the second assistant coach.” Speaking about his new coaches, Martinez said: “We are here to help the real quality we have. We need to support the players.” — The Mirror.
