Coaching Career
Wilmots became a football manager in summer 2004 for Sint-Truidense, but was sacked in February 2005. From 1 October 2009 on, he served as assistant for Dick Advocaat and later for Georges Leekens. On 15 May 2012, following the exit of Georges Leekens, Wilmots assumed the Belgium reins on an interim basis before going onto become permanent coach, signing a contract until June 2014. Wilmots shows eager to build in automatisms in the Red Devils squad: "I have been commenting Euro's and World Cups for too many years, I want to be actually there again now", he explains his wish to qualify for the World Cup 2014 tournament in Brazil.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
