Marc Wilmots: 'Contract talks are on hold'

Belgium boss Marc Wilmots has insisted that contract talks can wait until progression for next summer's World Cup is ensured.

The 44-year-old's current deal expires next May, but it is believed that the Belgian Football Association are preparing a fresh contract for their manager.

"Contract talks are not in order now. I want to concentrate fully on the next two qualification matches. Go Belgium!" he tweeted.

Belgium currently top Group A with 22 points, having won seven of their eight qualification matches.
