Live Bar, August 23rd, Courtois posted a message, publicly stating that the conflict between him and Belgian national team coach Tedesco is irreconcilable, and said that under Tedesco's coaching, he will not return to the national team.

Post content:

I would like to say something to the Belgian fans and supporters of the national team.

I feel so much love and pride to represent my country on the pitch, as do all of you who support Belgium. It is an honour to wear the national team jersey. Even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I would wear the national team jersey more than 100 times.

Unfortunately, after a conflict with the coach and after much reflection, I have decided not to return to the Belgian national team under Tedesco. I accept my responsibility for this matter. However, looking forward, my lack of trust in Tedesco is not conducive to the friendly atmosphere within the team. I have had several discussions with the Belgian Football Association, which accepts my position and the reasons that have led me to this painful but wise decision. I regret that this may disappoint some fans, but I believe this is the best course of action for Belgium as it puts an end to the controversy and allows the team to focus on pursuing its goals.

Thank you for your unwavering support, love, and understanding.
