My Predictions

How many national coaches or trainers will quit (or announce to do so) during the European Soccer Championship 2008 (UEFA Euro 2008)?

Settled as Two

Often a national trainer/coach gets fired or retreats from his position because of an early drop out of the competitions.
This question aims at such a resigning (retirement or early release) (or announce of it) which is explicitly reasoned by an early drop out of the team.

Only those who occur during the tournament itself (the final round) in Austria and Switzerland (7th - 29th of June) are to be included. A maximum of 16 is possible, but some countries already announced a change of the coach after the championships (e.g. Switzerland).

England is already out, so I will lower the probability by one ;).


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
