(Reuters) - Czech Republic coach Jaroslav Silhavy has resigned after a 3-0 win over Moldova sealed their qualification for Euro 2024 on Monday.

Silhavy led the Czechs to second place in Group E, leaving the 1996 runners-up to play in their eighth consecutive European Championship after finishing second, tied on 15 points with Albania, who have a better head-to-head record.
