Rob Page Sacked As Wales Manager

Page has paid the price for a poor run of form which saw Wales fail qualify for EURO 2024.

The 49-year-old stepped up from his previous role as an assistant to take charge of his country on a caretaker basis in November 2020 after substantive boss Ryan Giggs was charged with assault.

Page then led Wales to reach the second round of EURO 2020 and qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 64 years by seeing off Ukraine 1-0 in the playoffs.

Page was named substantive Wales boss in the aftermath of that momentous feat in September 2022.

Dave Adams, the FAW's chief football officer, said: “I would like to thank Rob for his work with the association over the last seven years, firstly as the under-21s head coach and then onto the role of Cymru [Wales] head coach."

FAW chief executive Noel Mooney said: "On behalf of myself and the entire FAW, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rob for his commitment and dedication to his roles for the national teams.

"Under Rob Page's leadership, our Cymru men's team has achieved significant milestones and victories which have created many incredible memories for our nation, most notably our first World Cup in 64 years."

Page was in charge for 45 matches, winning 15, drawing 15 and losing 15.
