(MENAFN- Arab Times) KUWAIT CITY, Sept 14, (RTRS): Kuwait
has sacked head coach Romeo Jozak just a year after his appointment following
the team's 3-0 home defeat to Australia in World Cup qualifying.
Croatian Jozak, 46, took over the
reins of Kuwait's national team in July, 2018, three months after being sacked
by Polish club Legia Warsaw.
'The FA decided to consider the
recommendations of the technical committee which advised to part ways with the
technical staff of the national team,' Kuwait's football association said in a
statement.
Tuesday's loss to the Socceroos
came days after world number 156 Kuwait hammered Nepal 7-0 to open their
qualifying campaign for Qatar 2022 and the Asian Cup in China in 2023.
'Congratulations
to my 'Blue' boys! Strong opener of the Qualifiers and a message to the World
that Kuwait is back on the international football scene,' the coach had tweeted
after the home win against Nepal.
Kuwait still top Group B with one
win from two matches and play Jordan next in Amman on Oct. 10.
The eight group winners and four
best runners-up advance to the third round of qualification.
