Iceland Coach, Heimir Hallgrimsson has stepped down after seven years with the team, the Football Association of Iceland (KSI) confirmed.
The 51-year-old guided Iceland to their first World Cup in Russia where they were eliminated in the group stage.
“The FA of Iceland can now confirm that Heimir Hallgrimsson will not continue as head coach of the Icelandic men’s national team.
“Hallgrimsson steps down as Iceland coach at his own request after seven years in the job, having joined in 2011,” KSI wrote on its Twitter page.
Hallgrimsson lost two out of three matches in Group D at the tournament, but produced a resilient display to draw 1-1 with former world champions Argentina.
