Tsanas appointed interim Greece coach

Greece appointed Kostas Tsanas as interim coach for the second year running, after Sergio Markarian's departure was confirmed.

Kostas Tsanas has taken interim charge of Greece's national team for the second time in as many years, filling the void left by Sergio Markarian.

Markarian's reign saw him fail to help Greece to a win in three matches, including an embarrassing Euro 2016 qualifying loss to Faroe Islands - which featured the only goal scored under the Uruguayan.

Tsanas, who is in charge of Greece's Under-21 side, takes over yet again, having been at the helm for one match - a 2-0 friendly loss to Serbia in November - after Claudio Ranieri was sacked.
