Greece names Kostas Tsanas, Nektarios Pantazis as interim coaches

Greece have named Kostas Tsanas and Nektarios Pantazis as interim coaches of the national team, but has yet to officially confirm Claudio Ranieri's sacking.

The 63-year-old Italian took over the Euro 2004 champions in July, but is expected to be dismissed after Friday's shock 1-0 home defeat by the Faroe Islands.

A statement from the Greek Football Association read: "The Hellenic Football Federation announces that the role of interim coach for the friendly match with Serbia will be [carried out by] Kostas Tsanas and Nektarios Pantazis."

The delay in announcing Ranieri's departure is said to be because of discussions over a compensation package.
