Slovak national football team coach resigns

Author: Agencies

PRAGUE: Slovakia’s national soccer team coach Jan Kozak resigned on Sunday after more than five years in the job, a period during which he got his side into the European Championships for the first time. Kozak took over the national side in July 2013 and led the team to 29 victories in 54 matches. His side made it into the round of 16 in its debut Euro Championships in 2016 before getting knocked out by Germany. But it failed to extend its successes and just missed out on the 2018 World Cup. “He created a side that achieved a number of fantastic results written into the history of our country’s football,” the Football Association said on its website. Assistant Stefan Tarkovic will lead the team in a friendly match against Sweden on Tuesday, the association said.
