Greece sacks coach Ranieri
Print Edition
CLAUDIO Ranieri was sacked as coach of Greece yesterday, paying the price for a humiliating 0-1 loss at home the previous evening to minnows Faroe Islands in a Euro 2016 qualifier.
A statement from the Greek Football Federation said that the 63-year-old Italian would remain at the helm for the friendly against Serbia on Tuesday and would then leave for home.
The devastating loss to the Faroes left former European champion Greece bottom of Group F and facing an uphill struggle to qualify for the Euro 2016 finals in France.
The statement said that Ranieri’s departure as coach had been decided at a meeting with federation president Giorgos Sarris which had taken place “in a good climate”.
The federation denied that a successor to Ranieri had already been found, saying that there was “plenty of time” to look for a new coach as the next Euro 2016 qualification match against Hungary was not until March.
Ranieri only took over in July, taking over from Portugal’s Fernando Santos who had just taken the team for the first time in its history to the last 16 of the World Cup finals in Brazil.
The much-travelled Italian had been sacked by Monaco in May.
