Crazy Icelandic commentator loses job

Gudmundur Benediktsson stole the hearts of football fans the world over with his euphoric antics, but things haven't been quite so rosy back home...

EXTRA TIME

Remember the commentator who lost his mind when Arnor Ingvi Traustason scored the winning goal for Iceland against Austria? Of course you do.

Well, he's lost his job.

Not his commentating gig, thankfully, but his role as assistant manager of KR Reykjavik.

Gudmundur Benediktsson is his name and he's been part of the management team that has overseen the club lose five of their last six matches in all competitions.
