Robert Prosinecki has left his post as coach of the Azerbaijan national team after his contract was not renewed. The Azerbaijan football federation said in a statement that Prosinecki and the federation leadership decided by mutual consent not to seek a new deal. The former Real Madrid and Croatia player had been in charge since December 2014, when he replaced Berti Vogts. Prosinecki led Azerbaijan to their best-ever record in World Cup qualifying with 10 points, but that was still well short of the qualification places for next year's tournament. The federation provided no word on a possible successor.
