Spaniard Sanchez appointed Qatar coach

Doha (AFP) – Spaniard Felix Sanchez has been officially named as Qatar’s coach, replacing Uruguayan Jorge Fossati, to become the third manager of the country’s national team in less than a year. A statement posted on Twitter by the Qatar Football Association on Monday confirmed Sanchez had been “formally appointed” as head coach. He is set to take charge for Qatar’s remaining 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Syria and China, though it is unclear if it is a long-term appointment. Sanchez is the current head coach of Qatar’s under-23 side which narrowly failed to qualify for last year’s Olympic games.
