The Belgium assistant boss revealed on Monday that he has turned down a £10million offer to extend his contract with the broadcasting giants.

It appears the Arsenal legend is already in high demand after the Daily Mail claim he has been offered a managerial job in the UK.
Two clubs abroad have also offered him the chance to step foot into management.
Fellow pundit Jamie Carragher couldn’t resist reminding Henry of the time the former striker put his hand on his leg in a good luck message.
Alongside a picture of the famous incident, Carragher wrote: “Good luck @ThierryHenry on whatever coaching role you eventually take.”
In a statement posted on Twitter, the 40-year-old broke the news on Twitter: “Over the last four years I have had some extremely rewarding coaching experiences in football.
“These experiences have only made me more determined to fulfil my long term ambition to become a football manager.

“It is with sadness, therefore, that I have decided that I must leave Sky Sports to enable me to spend more time on the pitch and concentrate on my journey to achieving that goal.
“I would like to thank everyone at Sky for making me feel so welcome and at ease throughout my time with them and I wish them all the best for the future. Great memories.”
Sky Sports are reportedly considering replacing Henry with Chelsea legend John Terry.
The defender is without a club after leaving Aston Villa at the end of last season.
