Hungary coach Bernd Storck is excited by his team's future despite a humbling 4-0 loss to Belgium at Euro 2016.
Goals from Toby Alderweireld, Michy Batshuayi, Eden Hazard and Yannick Ferreira Carrasco saw Marc Wilmots' men to a commanding win in the last 16.
"I'd like to congratulate my side. We have a promising future," he told a news conference.
"We will continue to work like that for the next task, which is World Cup qualification."
Storck is taking plenty out of his nation's run to the last 16, which included a win over Austria and draws with Portugal and Iceland.
"We can leave with our heads held high. We saw the difference on the pitch," he said.
"We've never played against a side like that. They're ranked second in the world.
"We've learned a great deal and that will help us make great strides in the future."
He added: "I was already aware of the potential in our side.
"We proved that in the international friendlies ahead of the tournament. We've really progressed, we played well against Austria, mixed things up against Iceland and Portugal.
"It was an interesting game tonight with action at both ends."
