Montenegro national team coach has been changing after disappointing match against Wales in Cardiff, the 'Brave Falcons' 2-1 defeat to Wales last Friday in a Euro 2012 qualifier in Cardiff that left them six points behind Group G leaders England.
Zlatko Kranjcar, 54-year-old Croatian has been sacked as coach of the Montenegro national football team and has been replaced by Branko Brnovic. Explaining the decision to dismiss Kranjcar from his coaching role, Football Federation of Montenegro (FSCG) president Dejan Savicevic said, according to Uefa.com: "For a team that was in a great position to compete even for first place, we now have a difficult task in front of us [to finish in the top two].
"It's obvious that we are in free fall. Also, the last two matches have shown that the team have lost their spirit and we had to react this way."
"After the latest round of qualifiers, the position of our team is not as comfortable as it was before, especially before the match against Bulgaria and then Wales," further explained FCSG secretary general Momir Durdevac, according to PA.
"It had appeared we would either qualify directly or at least finish second safely, and so become a play-off participant, but after the last two results we are now in a situation where we enter into the final round of qualifiers with a great deal of uncertainty.
"Analysing the reasons for this, the board concluded that the coach Zlatko Kranjcar had not performed to his best, especially in the last two matches, and unanimously decided to dismiss the coach.
"This decision is not easy, but we considered a number of reasons and this is the only possible and correct solution at this point."
Brnovic, who was Kranjcar's assistant, has been given the reigns of the team as they prepare for their upcoming qualifiers against Switzerland and England, and Savicevic is confident that the 44-year-old will not disappoint.
"He had a big football career and has a lot of experience as an assistant to Kranjaar and [Zoran] Filipovic," he enthused. "We believe that he will get us back on track."
Two match left of Montenegro against England in Podgorica on October 7 and four days later take on Switzerland in Basel.

Michal Kadlec dispatched the penalty precisely, but there was more controversy still to come, as Christophe Berra went down under a challenge in the area, only to be booked for diving by the Dutch referee.
