​EURO2016: Vrba leaves as Czech Republic boss for Russian Premier League

The Czech Republic are in the market for a new coach after Pavel Vrba has stepped down from his position as manager of the national side.

The 52-year-old, who failed to lead his country beyond the group stages of Euro 2016, will take over as manager of Russian Premier League team Anzhi Makhachkala.

At the finals however, they lost to Spain and Turkey and drew with Croatia, leaving them bottom of Group D.

Miroslav Pelta, chairman of the Czech Republic FA, says a new national coach will be 'presented within a week'.
