Roberto Martinez's first match in charge of Belgium ended in defeat and jeers from the crowd as David Silva scored twice to give Spain a 2-0 win.
Spaniard Martinez, 43, was appointed on 3 August, less than three months after being sacked by Everton.
Belgium were booed off by sections of the home crowd after managing just one shot on target against Spain - from Emirates Marketing Project's Kevin de Bruyne.
City club-mate Silva opened the scoring after 34 minutes in Brussels and added a second-half penalty to give Julen Lopetegui a winning start in his first match as Spain coach, after replacing Vicente del Bosque.
"You can't expect major change in just three days and this result has no real meaning," said Martinez. "What I do want to see, though, is passion and pride in wearing the national team jersey."
Former Wigan and Swansea manager Martinez succeeded Marc Wilmots and made former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry one of his assistants.
Martinez left Everton striker Romelu Lukaku on the bench against Spain and started with Liverpool's Divock Origi.
Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard was made captain.

You're right about that. Has Fat Sam done his press conference yet? I can see that one being used...

And at least half this forum wanted Martinez as our manager after Harry....
I was one of them. I thought he did excellent work earlier in his career but has looked continuously out of his depth since.

Has he been sacked yet?
The other Lukaku. Worst player by far at the euros and that includes all the countries.
