    Actually, Tedesco appointed Kevin De Bruyne as the new captain of Belgium after Hazard retired and Lukaku + Courtois were both second in line for when De Bruyne would not be playing.
    Last year during De Bruynes long period of injury, there were two qualifing games for EURO 2024 and in one game Lukaku would be captain and in the other Courtois. However, Lukaku was captain at the home game during Courtois' 100th game for the squad and Courtois got mad for that because he wanted to be captain during his 100th game and decided to leave the team before the second game.

      It's probably because he thinks that if he leaves out Lukaku then he won't have a Captain that would be able to stand up to the other big personalities in the team.

    It seems like the Belgium national team are still in massive turmoil and Thibaut Courtois’ recent retirement from international football after a falling out with Dominic Tedesco is a prime example of that and the end of a generation that was never golden in a sense that with all of the talent they had, they never even reached a final of a major tournament let alone win an international trophy.
    Anyways, everyone knows that the fallout started last year as after securing his 100th cap for Belgium, Courtois thought as if he would be honored with that milestone as their captain for a game since their permanent captain Kevin de Bruyne wasn’t in the squad due to the injury he picked up in the champions league final, instead, Romelu Lukaku was given the armband over him and because of that, he withdrew from the national team and hasn’t played for his country since. Last season, he had an ACL injury and even though he came back in May when the season was about to end and was fit enough to start the champions league final despite not kicking a ball for over a year, he already ruled himself out of the EUROs not just because of his injury, it was more down to the issues that hadn’t been resolved between him and the manager and he isn’t going to play for the national team ever again. I don’t blame him for being upset since anyone who has reached the milestone of 100 international appearances, yes they want to be honored in the right way as they want to be captain for a special moment playing so many games for their country, at the same time, with all due respect to Courtois, I don’t think he reacted in the right way possible because as an experienced player, he’s supposed to be a role model for some of the young players in the dressing room, he should be a leader and the fact that things haven’t played out well after all of this is enough proof that Belgium are still a mess and we all saw what happened behind the scenes at the World Cup. With or without him, it ain’t going to change much since they still won’t win anything and his strop doesn’t help.

    As a Belgian supporter, we don't like all that drama and we could easily have won the 2016 European Championship, the 2018 World Cup and even perhaps the 2020 European Championship and the 2021 Nations League.... now we all know that will be almost impossible. Although there is a lot of talent around, the thing is that Tedesco does not have Belgian nationality and he does not see the Belgian talent walking around that is there. If we had a trainer with Belgian nationality, we would have a Belgium with potential... many people also said that they did not understand why Belgium was always so high after the 2022 World Cup, but Roberto Martinez always played against small teams in order to win
