Wales sticking to Robert’s Page despite missing Euro 2024

 

On Tuesday, Wales national football team Manager Robert Page missed the opportunity to become the first Wales manager to lead them to two consecutive tournaments after they lost to Poland on penalties in a Euro 2024 playoffs final.

The 49-year-old led the team to the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup and was hoping to follow it up with the Euros. However, after a 0-0 draw with Poland in regular and extra time, Daniel James lost his spot kick to deny them a third straight appearance at the championship since 2016.

However, the Football Association of Wales president, Steve Williams, confirmed that Rob Page is the manager for the forthcoming campaign in accordance with his contract and that his contract runs to the end of the World Cup, which is what they will continue to work with.

On his own part, Robert Page said the focus is now on the Nations League and the World Cup qualifiers, and younger players will be introduced to the team to get started.

“We’ve got games in June, and we’ve got the Nations League in the autumn, then the World Cup qualifying campaign starts. That’s my full focus. Building on what we’ve already started and the transition we’re in at this moment in time. I just know I’ve got a good group of players. Great staff, and we’re going on the right path. There’s younger players to be introduced to this group as well.” He added.

“That’s my next aim. We haven’t got there this time, but now, with the games in June, we can use it to start introducing a couple of the younger players and build on what we’ve got here. We’re a good group, and we’re going places.” Page said.
