Former France international Willy Sagnol is dismissed as Georgia’s national football team coach after a Nations League match that ends in a 1-0 defeat to Northern Ireland. Georgia’s football federation announces the change and says it follows the result of the competition fixture.
The federation names Ramaz Svanadze as Sagnol’s replacement. Yahoo Sports reports that Svanadze is appointed as coach “until the end of 2028.” The Punch similarly links the dismissal to the Nations League upset, but provides less detail on the length of the new appointment. Both outlets agree the decision is tied to the Nations League defeat and that Sagnol is replaced by Svanadze.
Across the reports, the key point is the same: Georgia removes Sagnol after the loss and installs Svanadze as the new coach, with the federation setting his term through 2028.
