Greece lose to Faroe Islands in Euro qualifier


Athens, Nov 15 (IANS): Former European champions Greece lost 0-1 to Faroe Islands in a 2016 Euro qualifier held at Karaiskaki stadium here.

Joan Simun Edmundsson scored the winner in the 61st minute Friday night, depriving the Greeks of the last hopes to advance to the final phase through Group F which also includes Hungary, Finland, Northern Ireland and Romania, reports Xinhua.

After the third loss in four matches here, the pressure is mounting on Claudio Ranieri and his days as coach of the Greek squad could be numbered.

The Italian coach signed a deal in July to manage the Greeks over the next two years, taking over from Portuguese Fernando Santos who led Greece to the round of 16 in the World Cup in Brazil this summer in an unprecedented success for the country's football.
