Oman football coach Ivankovic sacked

Muscat: Oman Football Association (OFA) axed national team head coach Branko Ivankovic of Croatia after the team crashed out of the AFC Asian Cup in Doha on Thursday.

Oman Football Association (OFA), in a tweet, confirmed that they have parted ways with the Croat coach. OFA media manager Younish Al Ghafri confirmed to Times of Oman the development that took place soon after Oman crashed out of the AFC Asian Cup following their 1-1 draw against Kyrgyz Republic. Oman began their Group F campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia and followed it with a goalless draw against Thailand. On Thursday, Oman drew Kyrgyzstan 1-1 as both the teams made a tame exit from the tournament.
