2022 World Cup Qualifiers Victim

JAKARTA - The 2022 World Cup qualification is not yet fully over. A number of countries are still struggling to win tickets to the finals in Qatar.

However, there are also those who have been declared invalid. One of them is Austria who were eliminated after losing 1-2 to Wales in the play-off round of the European zone last week.

This failure made the coach of Australia, Franco Foda, decided to resign. He feels responsible for his team's failure to reach the 2022 World Cup.

"I've been thinking a lot over the last few days and I take full responsibility for the fact we didn't qualify for the World Cup," Foda said.

"So my job as coach of the team ended after against Scotland," he continued.

The 55-year-old man ended his four-year service with Austria. As is known, Foda has been in charge of Austria since 2018 and successfully brought the team through to the last 16 of the 2020 European Cup.

Foda boasts that he has left a very important "legacy" for his successors.

"The successors can only look forward to a team with the perfect character that has a lot of potentials to grow," he said.
