The Czech Football Association fired coach Ivan Hasek on Wednesday following a humiliating 2-1 defeat to Faroe Islands in World Cup qualifying.

Czech FA president David Trunda said a coach would be named to lead the team until the end of the qualifying campaign. A foreign coach is then likely to take over on a permanent basis. Sunday’s defeat  against the Faroes, a territory with a population of 55,000, was the biggest for the Czechs in a qualifying match for a major tournament.
