In its message, the federation thanked Sagnol for his time and the emotions shared on a historic journey, highlighting qualification for Euro 2024, where Georgia exited in the last 16.

The former Bayern Munich and France right-back, 49, had been in charge since February 2021 and oversaw 57 matches.

Ramaz Svanadze will take over, appointed until the end of 2028. He previously led the under-21s.
