PERFORMANCE OF CZECHIA UNDER HASEK'S MANAGEMENT

In the 2026 FIFA World Cup European Qualifiers Group L, the team collected 13 points from 7 matches and is currently in second place, 3 points behind Croatia. The recent 2-1 defeat to the Faroe Islands accelerated the decision to part ways.
FATIH TERIM'S NAME IS ON THE AGENDA
According to the Czech press, the federation is seriously considering Fatih Terim for the new head coach position. Reports suggest that the "Emperor" is open to the offer, and an agreement between the parties is expected to be formalized shortly.
TERIM'S EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE IS STRIKING
Fatih Terim, who has previously managed European clubs such as AC Milan and Fiorentina, is being discussed as someone who could bring a new vision to the Czech National Team with his international experience. This development has generated significant interest in the European football community.
