Leandro Trossard's dad blasts Belgium boss Domenico Tedesco after dropping the Arsenal star against Romania and insists he is 'not a good coach'

The father of Arsenal star Leandro Trossard has lashed out at Belgium manager Domenico Tedesco for benching his son against Romania at Euro 2024.

Trossard started Belgium's opening game at the tournament - a 1-0 shock defeat against Slovakia - and was subsequently named on the bench for Saturday's clash.

He later made an appearance off the bench in the 56th minute, replacing Dodi Lukebakio and Kevin de Bruyne scoring Belgium's second goal in the 80th minute to settle the tie.

Trossard starred for Arsenal with 16 goals across all competitions as Mikel Arteta's side finished runners-up in the Premier League behind Manchester City for the second consecutive season.
