Former Everton manager, Roberto Martinez, is set to renew his contract as the head coach of Belgium until after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The 46-year-old has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Belgian Football Association, according to Marca, who revealed that lawyers from both parties are finalising the deal.

Reports also revealed that the deal has only been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"Martinez will continue to coach Belgium up to and including the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, unless there is an administrative catastrophe," Het Laatste Nieuws claim.

Martinez and his Belgian squad defeated England in 2018 to clinch the third place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Martinez who signed for Belgium in 2016 gave The Red Devils their best-ever finish at a World Cup in 2018.
