Wales Fires Coach Rob Page After Euro 2024 Miss

In a significant shake-up, Wales has terminated Rob Page's tenure as head coach of the men's national team. This decision follows nearly four years of Page's leadership marked by both historic achievements and recent disappointments.

Rob Page was instrumental in breaking Wales' 64-year World Cup hiatus by leading the team to Qatar in 2022. However, Wales' performance has been underwhelming lately, failing to secure a spot in Euro 2024 and showing lackluster results in recent friendlies, including a crushing 4-0 defeat to Slovakia and a goalless draw with Gibraltar.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) expressed gratitude for Page's contributions, notably advancing to the European Championship's round of 16 in 2020. Chief executive Noel Mooney highlighted the remarkable milestones achieved but emphasized the focus on maintaining the FAW's value of 'Excellence' moving forward. Page's departure leaves the future of Welsh football at a pivotal juncture.
