Moldova have named Alexandr Curteian as their new coach, following the dismissal of Ion Caras.
Caras found himself out of a job earlier today after the Moldovan Football Association deemed a run of four defeats in seven friendly games not good enough, while the country lost their Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro 2-0 earlier this month.
Now Moldova have turned to the country's Under-21 coach, Curteian.
The 40-year-old tactician turned out as a player for local side Zimbru Chisinau and bagged five domestic titles.
He also had spells as a player with Widzew Lodz in Poland, Zenit in Russia and Hamburg in Germany.
