Poulsen dismissed by Armenia Tuesday March 31 2009
Jan B Poulsen has been dismissed as coach of Armenia following his
side's poor start to their 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
Slow start
The decision was taken at a meeting with Football Federation of
Armenia president Ruben Hayrapetyan on Monday and follows Armenia's
2-2 draw with Estonia in Yerevan two days previously. Poulsen took
charge in January 2008, but despite some positive friendly results
during his 12 matches at the helm his side have been unable to make an
impact in World Cup qualifying. Saturday's draw produced Armenia's
first point in five matches in Group 5 and leaves them rooted to the
foot of the section. Assistant coach Vardan Minasyan has taken over on
a temporary basis and will lead Armenia for the return against Estonia
in Tallinn on Wednesday.
