John Toshack is ready to walk out on Wales’ Euro 2012 qualification campaign (Yes 20/1, No 1/150 – To Qualify) following their 1-0 opening defeat in Montenegro on Friday, according to reports.

The 61-year-old was already under pressure going into their opening Group G (Wales 33/1 – Group G Winner) clash in Podgorica, having failed to get the country into a major tournament since he took charge of team affairs six years ago. And the defeat to Montenegro has left question marks hanging over Toshack’s future especially when he admitted that Wales’ chances of reaching Euro 2012 would be slim if they fail to defeat a Bulgarian side thrashed 4-0 by England at Wembley on Friday, in their next match.

The former Real Madrid coach’s admission was a far cry from before a ball was kicked last week when he felt the emergence of young talent in the Wales squad was finally about to come of age and fire them to qualification.

Former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage has already stuck the boot in on Toshack and demanded he be axed from the post. The veteran Derby midfielder infamously quit international football after a row with the manager five years ago.

He said on BBC Radio Five Live: “It is time John Toshack left Wales.

“I think we need a fresh start, fresh impetus. We need to get the crowds back and I think Toshack has to go.

“He has made enough excuses, he has been in the job six years. Judge him on his qualifying campaigns – they haven’t qualified yet and they have got off to a terrible start again.”

There has yet to be any official word from the Football Association of Wales to validate the rumours that Toshack is set to depart. However, if he does leave then the race will be on to get a new man on board ahead of next month’s vital games against Bulgaria and Switzerland.
