Toshack Update: Toshack steps down as Wales boss
It has been confirmed that John Toshack has resigned as Wales manager. He has been incharge of Wales for almost six years.
He announced his decision on a televised news conference in Cardiff. This was already expected as reports were circulating that a mutual agreement has been reached between Football Association of Wales and Toshack that he will announce his resignation in a news conference on Thursday.
Wales suffered a defeat from the hands of Montenegro in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier. His resignation is from immediate effect. He said that he is disappointed how the things started for Wales in Euro 2012 qualifier.
“I discussed things with the president after the Montenegro game, I gave my point of view and he gave his, and we came to the agreement that it may be better for everybody concerned if a change is made now,” he said.
“As regards the next two games I think Wales are still very much in this group. Now the decision has been made, hopefully they will be able to get some positive results in the next two games.
“Although there is not too much time for the new man I still think the group is open and I will be there just like every other fan at Cardiff’s new stadium rooting for them to get a result.”
Wales next host Bulgaria on October 10 and visit Switzerland four days later in Group G. They host England in March.
