The reason for the resignation of the former Slovak national team coach Jan Kozak from the post of the national team became known..

Former Mentor of the Slovaks broke the agreement with the local Federation by mutual consent of the parties. Earlier it was reported that the reason for such a decision by Kozak is a disastrous performance in the League of Nations, where the team after two rounds has no points.

The last straw, according to the media, was the home defeat of the Czechs with a score of 1: 2.

However, as it turned out later, the reason for the dismissal of a specialist is completely different.. According to Kozak himself, his decision to release the coach’s seat is related to the disciplining of some players on the team who, after losing the Czech Republic, went to a nightclub.

We are talking about goalkeepers Martin Dubravka and Michal Szulle, defenders of Lubomir Shatka, Norbert Dyomber, Milan Shkriniar, and also two midfielders - Stanislav Lobotka and Vladimir Weiss.

"I can forgive them. They came to me, tried to justify themselves, but they have to think differently before doing something, "said Kozak.

In addition, it is noted that all the above players will be punished with a fine.

Kozak led the national team in July 2013. He is the record holder of the Slovak national team in the number of matches as head coach.

Under his leadership, the Slovaks withdrew from the group at Euro 2016, and in the 1/8 finals they gave way to the future semi-finalists to the Germans (0: 3).

Recall, the Ukrainian team defeated Slovakia with a score of 1: 0, the return match will take place on November 16.
