Sergio Markarian quits as Greece manager

Sergio Markarian steps down as manager of Greece after just five months in charge.

Sergio Markarian has resigned as manager of Greece after just five months in the role.

The 70-year-old suggested that he was ready to quit last month following the team's shock defeat to Faroe Islands in Euro 2016 qualifying.

Markarian took charge of Greece back in February following the departure of Claudio Ranieri. The Uruguayan guided the team to one draw and one loss during his time at the helm.

Greece are currently at the bottom of their Euro 2016 qualifying group with two points from six games.
