A 0-0 draw in Azerbaijan and 2-0 loss in Norway meant Croatia fell behind their Nordic opponents and lost ground on leaders Italy. Croatian Football Federation (HNS) president Davor Šuker announced the decision to end Kovač's reign of just under two years on Wednesday morning, with the replacement scheduled to be appointed by 21 September ahead of October's decisive qualifiers against Bulgaria and Malta

I've always loved Kovac the man and the player. But again, he was in over his head and it showed in Brazil and it showed last week. Inexperienced. Although probably the most dapper of all national team coaches. I know the females in my family agree to that.
Problem is, dapper doesn't equal championships. Just ask Henrik Lundqvist.
