The Oman Football Association has announced the dismissal of French Paul Le Guen as coach of the Omani national team due to poor results.

The former coach of France's Olympique Lyonnais, Paris Saint-Germain and Scotland's Rangers coached the Omani national team since 2011.

But the French tactician was fired on Thursday after Tuesday's 1-2 defeat against Turkmenistan in a crucial Group D qualifying match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2019 Asian Cup, reports Efe.

The Omani national team is currently in second place in the group, three points behind leaders Iran.
