THIBAUT COURTOIS has thrown his Belgium future into major doubt after branding manager Domenico Tedesco a liar.
The Real Madrid stopper has been at loggerheads with his international gaffer after being snubbed of the captaincy for their matches against Austria and Estonia last June.

Courtois has accused both the Belgian Football Federation and Tedesco of not appreciating him.
He’s even claimed Tedesco hasn’t given him a straight answer for the captaincy snub.
Tedesco claimed this week that he’s done everything in his power to ensure the crocked Courtois plays for the Red Devils again.
But the former Chelsea stopper has publicly taken umbrage to the claim on social media.
In response to the clip of Tedesco discussing his future on X, Courtois commented with three Pinnochio emojis.
Courtois’ legion of followers were quick to defend him, with one saying: “Real Belgium fans support you, legend.”
Another said: “Yeah, Tedesco out, please!
And another said: “Hala Tibo.”

One remarked: “Own this fraud.”
Another chimed in: “I would also feel the same if somebody tried to make [Romelu] Lukaku and [Kevin] De Bruyne captain over me.”
Courtois will likely find himself out in the cold should he not patch things up with Todesco, who has just been given a new two-year contract.
So it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that he may very well have played his last game for the Red Devils.
Courtois made his Belgium debut back in 2011 aged 19 and has gone on to make a further 101 appearances for his country.
The 31-year-old will miss this summer‘s European Championships through injury and is targetting a return to action with Real early next season.
