Belgium coach Marc Wilmots is expected to enter club management.
Het Nieuwsblad says the former Sheffield Wednesday star has just joined super agent Jorge Mendes' stable.
Wilmots has been linked with Schalke, though Belgian federation president Francois De Keersmaeker is adamant the coach has shown no willingness to leave the job.
A return to England cannot be discounted, where Sunderland, Newcastle United and West Ham United are all hunting for new managers.
The majority of Wilmots' Red Devils squad is based in the Premier League.
