Sagnol Sacked as Georgia Boss After Nations League Upset
Ramaz Svanadze takes over after Georgia lost five of six World Cup qualifying matches and opened the Nations League with a 1-0 defeat, officials said.
- The Georgian Football Federation sacked Willy Sagnol on Saturday and appointed Ramaz Svanadze as head coach on a contract through 2028, the federation said.
- Sagnol, who led Georgia since 2021, guided the team to their first European Championship appearance at Euro 2024, but recent form faltered with five losses in six World Cup qualifying matches.
- Friday's 1-0 home defeat to Northern Ireland in the UEFA Nations League served as the final act for the Frenchman, triggering the federation's immediate decision.
- Svanadze, who managed Georgia's Under-21 side for five years, takes charge immediately and will lead his first match on Monday against Ukraine in the Nations League.
- The federation thanked Sagnol for his 'historic path' with the national team, signaling continuity as the new coach leverages familiarity with Georgia's youth talent pipeline through 2028.
