Former Everton Manager Roberto Martinez Appointed As Belgium New Head Coach

Roberto Martinez has been appointed as the new head coach of Belgium.

The former Everton boss had been linked with the vacancy at Hull but will now lead Belgium into the World Cup 2018 qualifiers after signing a two-year deal.

The 43-year-old is set to fly out to Belgium on Thursday, when a press conference to formally introduce Martinez to the media is due to take place in Brussels. 

His first match will be against Spain in a friendly on September 1 in the Belgian capital.

The Spaniard had been on a three-man shortlist for the vacant position at Hull after Steve Bruce left the Premier League new boys earlier this summer, but that job is now set to go to either Chris Coleman or Gianfranco Zola.

Marc Wilmots was sacked after Belgium were knocked out by Wales in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals by Wales.

The Red Devils emerged from Group E in second place before dispatching of Hungary in the last 16. However, they were beaten by Wales in the quarter-finals - a precursor for Wilmots' stay being ended.

Martinez previously took charge of Swansea and Wigan, with whom he won the FA Cup in 2013, before being appointed to the top job at Goodison Park.

After finishing fifth in the Premier League in his first season in charge, Martinez's tenure at the Toffees became more and more fragile.

Everton finished 11th in 2014-15 and replicated that position last term, with the Spaniard eventually sacked after weeks of protests from fans.  

Rio Olympics 2016: Andy Murray to be Team GB flag bearer

Olympic and Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has been chosen to carry the 
flag for Great Britain at Friday's Rio 2016 opening ceremony.

The 29-year-old was picked ahead of the likes of boxer Nicola Adams and rower Katherine Grainger.

Murray, who inspired Great Britain to the Davis Cup in November, is the first tennis player to fill the role.

"To lead out Team GB will be an incredible honour, the biggest in sport," he said.

As well as individual gold, the Scot also won doubles silver alongside Laura Robson at the London 2012 Games.

"I obviously have great memories of London and I am 100% focused on winning here in Rio," Murray added.

"The privilege of being the flag bearer is a moment I will remember for the rest of my life and will certainly be one of the highlights of my career."

Murray is seeded second in both the men's singles and the doubles tournament in which he is teaming up with brother Jamie.

Team-mate and fellow British number one Johanna Konta is seeded 10th in the women's draw.

A British Olympic Association panel selected Murray to be flag bearer after each sport put forward athletes to a shortlist.

Cyclist Sir Chris Hoy led Team GB into London's Olympic Stadium four years ago, while speed skater Jon Eley was selected for the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014.

The United States have nominated swimmer Michael Phelps, while hosts Brazil have chosen modern pentathlete Yana Marques.

The Russian team have selected volleyball player Sergey Tetyukhin after pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and the rest of the Russian athletics team was banned in the wake of the country's doping scandal.
