John Toshack quits as Wales footie boss

John Toshack, former Wales manager

Wales footie manager John Toshack has quit after nearly six years in charge.

There's been a lot of talk about him going after Wales got beaten in their first Euro 2012 qualifying match by Montenegro last Friday.

It was first thought that Toshack would stay in charge for Wales's next two qualifiers in October.

But Toshack is now resigning straight away. He said: "We have come to the agreement that this might be better for everyone concerned."

A new boss hasn't been announced by the Welsh FA yet.

Some of the people who've been linked to the job include former Fulham manager Chris Coleman, Millwall boss Kenny Jackett and Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs.
