Qualification Failure Leaves More Jobs Vacant


Javier Clemente sacked as Serbian coachFailure to qualify for Euro 2008 has already seen Steve McClaren sacked from the English job, Alex McLeish jump ship to the Premier League and of course Steve Staunton sacked from the Irish post before the qualifying campaign had even ended. Today it was announced that Oleg Blokhin has resigned from his post as Ukraine manager and Javier Clemente has been relieved of his duties as Serbia manager.

Blokhin had guided the Ukraine to a quarter final appearance at the 2006 World Cup in Germany but was well off the pace for Euro 2008, finishing in fourth place their qualifying group, with Italy and France finishing first and second respectively. Blokhin’s resignation takes with him all of his national team assistants as well.

Qualification for Serbia would have sealed a two-year contract extension for Javier Clemente, but finishing third in their qualifying group behind Poland and Portugal ultimately sealed the Spaniard’s fate. Radomir Antic looks to be good money at this stage to get the Serbian job, with a decision expected in January.
