The Belgian Football Association has confirmed that Marc Wilmots has been sacked as manager of the national team.
Belgium went into Euro 2016 this summer as the highest-ranked team in the tournament, but crashed out at the hands of surprise package Wales in the quarter-finals.
That 3-1 defeat in Lille proved to be his last match in charge of the Red Devils, who failed to live up to expectations in France.
"The [Belgian FA's] Technical Commission have made an evaluation of Euro 2016 and have declared that the intended goals have not been reached," read a statement.
"There is a common sense that the team needs a new impulse to lead this group towards a top result at a major tournament."
Wilmots also took charge of Belgium at the World Cup two years ago, but once again their golden generation was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
In all, Wilmots took charge of 51 matches as Belgium manager, recording a win percentage of 66.7%.
