**Muscat, Oman -** Oman has parted ways with Czech coach Jaroslav Silhavy by mutual consent, just eight months after his appointment. The Oman Football Association announced the decision on Thursday, citing the team’s struggles in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Oman is currently bottom of Group B in the third round of qualifiers, having lost their first two matches. They fell 1-0 to Iraq and 3-1 at home against South Korea.

Silhavy’s contract was originally set to run until 2026. He had previously coached various clubs in the Czech Republic and led the Czech national team to the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.

“The Board of Directors of the Association extends its thanks to the coach for the period he spent as coach of our national team, wishing him success in his upcoming journey,” the association said in a statement.

Oman will now search for a new coach as they look to turn around their World Cup qualifying campaign.
