German coach is fired

Georgia have confirmed the departure of coach Klaus Toppmoller. The German has had his contract terminated after a disappointing Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. Georgian Football Federation chief Nodar Akhalkatsi confirmed they had axed Toppmoller. "We were really upset with our team's performance in the Euro-2008 qualifying campaign," Akhalkatsi said. "I believe we need to find somebody else to improve our performances." In the 2008 European championship qualifying Group B Georgia finished sixth, one place above the bottom-placed Faroe Islands.
