Former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage launched a scathing attack on national team boss John Toshack and has called on him to step down.

There is certainly no love lost between both men after Savage retired from the international fold following disagreements over his manager's tactics and approach.

Toshack has been in charge of the team since 2004, but Savage retired five years ago due to disagreements and has not had a change of heart since.

He has often been outspoken in his disapproval of the former Real Madrid coach, with Friday's 1-0 defeat to Montenegro in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier prompting more opinion from the Derby skipper.

Fresh start

"I think we need a fresh start, fresh impetus," Savage said.

"We need to get the crowds back and I think Toshack has to go.

"He has made enough excuses, he has been in the job six years.

"Judge him on his qualifying campaigns - they haven't qualified yet and they have got off to a terrible start again.

"Toshack has to go."
