Georgia Football Federation Fires Coach Willy Sagnol
Willy Sagnol has been sacked as the head coach of the Georgian national football team, as announced by the Georgia Football Federation. This decision follows a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Northern Ireland in Georgia's opening match of the Nations League.
Sagnol, a former France international and Bayern Munich right-back, had been in charge since February 2021 and successfully led the team to their first European Championship appearance three years later. The federation expressed gratitude to Sagnol for his contributions during his tenure.
Ramaz Svanadze, a 45-year-old Georgian specialist who previously managed the Georgian under-21 team, will replace Sagnol and is set to coach the national team until the end of 2028. Svanadze has a notable record, having reached the European Championship finals twice with the under-21 side.
