Qualifying for the World Cup was an extraordinary moment for all of Czech football, and Mr. Miroslav Koubek played a huge part in it. For that, he deserves my sincere respect and thanks.”The Czech Republic were playing at their first World Cup since 2006, but their campaign in North America was a short-lived one as they lost their opener to South Korea before drawing with South Africa and suffering a further defeat to co-hosts Mexico.‘My work would no longer make sense’As well as the poor results in the tournament, Koubek cited the negative media attention as a reason for his departure.Koubek said: “After the failure at the World Championship, for which I bear joint responsibility as head coach, after considering all the circumstances, I have come to the conclusion that I will offer my position to the president of the FACR, David Trund. “After mutual debate and consultation, the president accepted my proposal. The consequence is the termination of my work with the national team.Koubek had only been in the role for six monthsGetty“A media campaign based on a series of half-truths and fabrications against me also contributed to my decision. In this atmosphere, my work for the Czech national team would no longer make sense.“I would like to thank the chairman David Trund and the FACR Executive Committee for the trust they have placed in me. “I would also like to thank Pavel Nedved for his cooperation, all members of the implementation team and employees of the Football Association of the Czech Republic for their enormous commitment and, above all, the players. It was a great honour for me to lead the Czech national team.“I regret that after gaining knowledge from the World Cup, I will not be able to fulfil the specific and clear visions I had for my further work with the national team.“A big thank you also goes to the fans. Their support throughout the entire journey to qualification and at the World Cup itself was extraordinary and I will never forget it.“I wish the Czech national team and my successor further success in their progress. I will keep my fingers crossed for them, like every Czech football fan.”This is a developing story and is being updated.For the latest updates, breaking news alerts, and comprehensive analysis, refresh this page or follow our real-time news coverage by watching and listening to talkSPORT live.For broader context, explore related coverage on our homepage for the top trending stories.
