However, as the former Everton boss prepare to leave the national team after six years in command, he acknowledged that it was an “emotional” time for him.

Martinez stated the following during his post-match news conference: “That was my last game with the national team and it was emotional, as you can imagine.

Shortly after the game, the Belgian FA announced in a tweet that Martinez had decided to step down before the World Cup got underway in November.
