BUCHAREST (Reuters) - The Romanian Football Federation (FRF) has decided to appoint a foreigner to replace Anghel Iordanescu as the national team’s coach, the ruling body's president said on Sunday.

"(The new coach) will be a foreigner," FRF president Razvan Burleanu told local media, adding that he had held consultations with the heads of other domestic sports federations (rugby and handball) as they recently also hired foreigners as coaches and advisors.
