Azerbaijan Parts Ways with Coach Fernando Santos After Iceland Drubbing | Sports-Games
The Azerbaijan Football Federation has parted ways with national team coach Fernando Santos by mutual consent after a heavy 5-0 defeat to Iceland. Despite a celebrated history, Santos left without a win in 11 matches. Ayxan Abbasov takes the helm for the next match against Ukraine.
The 70-year-old Portuguese trainer was unable to win any victory in front of the 11-part Azeri selection. It is fired from the command with a 5-0 golf course in front of Iceland.
Fernando Santos hasn't had a good few months. He didn't win a single match with the Azerbaijani national team and was dismissed with a bang the day before the World Cup qualifier against Ukraine. The Portuguese even spoke out after the federation's decision, and surprisingly... he has nothing to complain about. "I presented a comprehensive plan with the necessary adjustments," he told azerisport.com, and that's not all.
