JOHN TOSHACK stood down as Wales manager with a heavy heart after telling his bosses he wanted to continue in the post.
The 61-year-old has officially had his employment with the Football Association of Wales terminated by mutual consent.
Toshack’s position had been the subject of considerable speculation since Wales were beaten in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier by Montenegro last Friday.
Reports appeared over the weekend claiming that Toshack was poised to resign and his departure, announced at an FAW press conference yesterday afternoon, came as no surprise.
It became apparent, however, that Toshack wanted to carry on, at least until after next month’s games against Bulgaria and Switzerland, if only to shoulder the blame for any more failures.
