Slovenia sack Kavcic as head coach

Slovenia have sacked head coach Tomaz Kavcic after winning just one of their seven games in 2018.

Kavcic was only appointed in December last year but has overseen a torrid run of results, with Slovenia languishing at the foot of League C Group 3 in the Nations League standings.

Slovenia opened Nations League play with a 2-1 loss to Bulgaria before falling 2-1 to Cyprus in the team's second match of the competition.

A 1-0 loss to Norway was likely the final straw for the manager, even though he was able to steady the ship with a 1-1 draw at home against Cyprus on Tuesday.
