Belgium’s New Boss Van Bommel Relishing Clash with Zidane
- Belgium coach Mark van Bommel prepares for Monday's Nations League match in Brussels against France, coached by Zinedine Zidane, though France captain Kylian Mbappe will miss the fixture.

- On Thursday, Van Bommel watched his son Ruben debut for the Netherlands and set up a dramatic equalizer against Germany in Amsterdam. "As a father, you see your son make his debut for the Netherlands, that is already something special," he told reporters.
