(Reuters) - Qatar coach Felix Sanchez will leave his post at the end of the month after the country's FA (QFA) said on Friday that they had mutually agreed not to renew his contract, with the World Cup hosts having lost all of their group games at the tournament.
The QFA said Sanchez, 47, wanted to pursue new opportunities and that the two parties would part ways on Dec. 31.
"Qatar, its people and its football will always be in my heart. Now is a good time to let others take on the team's responsibility and for me to explore new challenges".
