: World Cup hosts Qatar announced Friday that national coach Felix Sanchez had been let go with the end of his contract after the team’s dismal World Cup where they failed to get a point from their group games.
The Spaniard’s latest deal with Qatar finishes on December 31 but his future had been doubt after the Gulf state, which spent tens of billions of dollars preparing for the World Cup, failed to reach the second round. The QFA praised the work of the 47-year-old former Barcelona staffer who had been in Qatar since 2006.
He said there were only 6,000 registered players in Qatar “so this was a likely situation,“ when asked if he ever thought Qatar would get through the group.“We just wanted to come here and see what we could do. We managed to play two good games against Senegal and the Netherlands. The first game we weren’t at our usual level and we know that.
