Audience applauds at Brussels press conference as Kazakhstan team manager confirms his departure following the team's loss.
In a shocking turn of events, Kazakhstan's national football team coach, Ali Aliyev, announced his resignation following a 6-0 defeat against Belgium on Sunday evening. This marked the fourth consecutive loss for the team under Aliyev's coaching.
The resignation was announced at a press conference held after the Belgium match, where Aliyev appeared pale and did not respond to any questions. The team had previously suffered losses against Wales (1-0), North Macedonia (1-0), and Belarus (4-1) in friendly matches.
Aliyev's appointment as the coach of Kazakhstan's team came in January, following the departure of Russian Stanislav Cherchesov. However, since his confirmation, the team has struggled, with a string of defeats that also includes a loss against Wales (1-3) during the first two qualifying rounds for the World Cup.
Several Kazakh journalists present at the press conference applauded Aliyev's announcement, with many seeming relieved by the suddenness of his resignation. Aliyev delivered a brief monologue, stating his intention to return home to present his resignation.
In the qualifying rounds, Kazakhstan's team managed to secure a victory in Liechtenstein (2-0) after the defeat to Wales. Despite this victory, it was not enough to turn the tide for the team, which continues to struggle in the football arena.
The departure of Aliyev leaves the Kazakhstan Football Federation in search of a new coach, as they aim to improve the team's performance and secure better results in the upcoming matches.
