Apparantly they were told in June that after Paris the contract would be finished. Following the bad result (no final and nobody going to Paris) the federation stopped the contract earlier.

Ulla Koch will be the new interim headcoach for Belgium.
She used to train the germans, till she retired 2 years ago.
