By Daily Sports Nigeria on June 21, 2024

The Football Association of Wales has announced the termination of Rob Page’s contract as the men’s National Team Head Coach.

Page, who took over as interim manager in November 2020 and was later appointed permanently in September 2022, led the team to significant milestones, including the UEFA EURO 2020 finals and Cymru’s first FIFA World Cup appearance since 1958.

Chief Football Officer, Dave Adams praised Page for his achievements, including the promotion to League A in the UEFA Nations League and the integration of 18 pathway players into the senior squad.

FAW CEO, Noel Mooney and President, Steve Williams expressed their gratitude for Page’s dedication and his role in creating unforgettable moments for Welsh football.

The FAW is now looking ahead to future opportunities and remains committed to its value of ‘Excellence’ for Welsh football.

Football Association of Wales disclosed this on Friday in a statement obtained from its X and website.

“Prior to taking on the role of Men’s National Team Manager, Page was the U21 Head Coach since 2017 and oversaw the development of several players into the senior team environment, including Dan James, Harry Wilson and Joe Rodon amongst many others,” it read.

Adams said, “I would like to thank Rob for his work with the Association over the last seven years, firstly as the U21s Head Coach and then onto the role of Cymru Head Coach.

“Rob’s work has delivered success reaching the Round of 16 at EURO 2020 and qualification to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and during his period we also integrated 18 pathway players into the senior squad.

“As we move forward this experience will support our objective to consistently qualify our Men’s National Team to major tournaments.”

On the other hand, Mooney, said, “On behalf of myself and the entire FAW, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rob for his commitment and dedication to his roles for the National Teams.

“Under Rob Page’s leadership, our Cymru men’s team has achieved significant milestones and victories which have created many incredible memories for our nation, most notably our first World Cup in sixty-four years.”

“We remain focused on our FAW value of ‘Excellence’ and look forward to the opportunities for our national teams and Welsh Football.”

FAW President, Steve Williams commented: “I am incredibly grateful for all that Rob has done in his role as Cymru Men’s National Team Manager and I want to put on record my gratitude for taking Cymru to EURO 2020 and the FIFA World Cup.”

“Rob’s passion for the country shone through in his visits to schools, clubs and communities across the breadth of Wales. I know Rob was incredibly proud of taking the World Cup squad announcement to his hometown of Tylorstown.”

PUNCH Online reports that the announcement comes after the Dragons failed to qualify for the ongoing Euros 2024 in March.
