Willy Sagnol sacked as head coach of Georgia's national football team after Nations League defeat

Willy Sagnol has been dismissed as the head coach of Georgia's national football team following a 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland in the Nations League. Sagnol, who had been in charge since 2021, previously led the team to their first major tournament at Euro 2024. However, the team's recent poor performance, including failing to qualify for the World Cup, led to his removal, with Ramaz Svanadze taking over as head coach.
