Domenico Tedesco, head coach of the Belgium national football team, in an interview “Sports Express” He denied the statements that he supported the decision of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to ban Spartak Moscow from the Europa League.
“Your football is in a difficult situation without European cups, but I did not say anything against Spartak! It is important that you hear for yourself what I said about this at the press conference. That’s why I always said that I just didn’t decide anything; “UEFA decides this,” said the expert.
In March 2022, the German specialist, as coach of the RB Leipzig club, allegedly supported the suspension of Spartak’s participation in international competitions on the eve of a head-to-head match in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. Words of support for UEFA’s decision were published on the RB Live portal.
Tedesco took charge of Spartak from 2019 to 2021. The red-whites finished the 2020/21 season in second place under his leadership.
In February this year, Tedesco took charge of the Belgian national team. Together with the team, he reached the final stage of the 2024 European Championship in Germany.
