Romania have parted company with boss Anghel Iordanescu and will announce his replacement before the end of the European Championship.
Iordanescu, in his third spell in charge of Romania, failed to guide the Tricolorii out of Group A after losing to hosts France and Albania and drawing with Switzerland.
"I thank Anghel Iordanescu for assuming a great responsibility in a time of need," Razvan Burleanu, president of the Romanian Football Federation, said on www.frf.ro.
"I thank him that he led us to the European Championship and I want the gentleman to remain in a role in the Romanian Football Federation.
"By the end of the European Championship we will announce the name of the new coach. We are open to both a foreign coach and Romanian."
Iordanescu, a former Steaua Bucharest striker, took the Romania reins for a third time in 2014, despite not holding a job in management for eight years.
The 66-year-old was national team boss when Romania reached the quarter-finals of the 1994 World Cup and he again led his homeland to the 1998 finals in France before a second stint in charge between 2002 and 2004.
