Markarián asks for Greece football fans’ forgiveness

Former manager of the Greek national football squad, Sergio Markarián, has apologized to the Greek fans for the failures of their national team.

The Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) decided to accept the resignation of the 70-year-old Uruguayan Armenian specialist, who originally stepped down on July 21, reported the website of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

“I ask Greek fans for their forgiveness, because our results were not ones we wanted,” Markarián had stated at the time. “I thank the players, the fans, the Greek federation, my assistants and the media for their respect towards me.”

Sergio Markarián had taken helm at the Greek national team in February, but he recorded no wins since then
