Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez has extended his contract which enables him to continue to coach the team through 2022, the Belgian Football Federation announced on Wednesday.

"The corona crisis has slowed things down somewhat, but the contract extension has been completed and is now official. This will allow Roberto Martínez to continue his work, lay the foundations for the future of Belgian football and train the person who will succeed him as technical director after the 2022 World Cup," the federation said on Wednesday.

Belgians went creative with the announcement. They made a video in which the national team's ace player Eden Hazard was playing EA's football video game FIFA 20. Hazard drew a card and it turned out to be Martinez.

Martinez took over from Marc Wilmots after Belgium was knocked in the quarterfinals of the UEFA European Championship in 2016. Two years later, Martinez led the Red Devils to finish the FIFA World Cup in Russia in third place. Meanwhile, if you take a look at his players and their ages, you will expect them to be even more amazing in next year's European Championship and the World Cup in two years:

Eden Hazard (29), Thibaut Courtois (28), Romelu Lukaku (27) and Kevin De Bruyne (28).

"The next two and a half years will be particularly intense for our national team with the Euro, the Nations League, the qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup and this final tournament," said Martinez.

"With the Nations League, the European Championship and the 2022 World Cup, it will probably be the most important years in our football history," said Peter Bossaert, the federation CEO. "We wanted to do everything we could so that our team could start this cycle in optimal conditions. With Roberto, we keep not only a top coach, a true gentleman, but also the ideal ambassador for Belgian football."
