Azerbaijan Football Association president, Rovnag Abdullayev has confirmed that their national team coach, Berti Vogts has resigned after spending six years as the manager of the team.
The former Super Eagles coach expressed disappointment at the team's 6-0 loss to Croatia in their last Euro 2016 clash, claiming he does not see any future in the nation's football.
"Vogts, unfortunately, said that he did not see a future with the Azerbaijani national team," the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan (AFFA) said in a statement on its website.
"He said that the team had lacked assertiveness in their last game (a 6-0 loss to Croatia in a Euro 2016 qualifier on Monday).
"There was also the problem of physical conditioning. He has pointed this out on a number of occasions over the last few years, but a decision was never taken to fix this."
Vogts was given an opportunity to continue working with the national team but he refused the offer.
