Voller exit confirmed

Rudi Voller has resigned as Germany coach following the team’s first-round exit at Euro 2004.

A 2-1 defeat to a weakened Czech Republic side, coupled with Holland’s 3-0 win over Latvia, meant an early exit for the three-times European champions and Voller has now fallen on his sword.

He led Germany to the World Cup final in 2002 despite suffering a 5-1 home defeat to England in qualifying.
