The Football Association will announce the new technical staff for the national team in due course, with further details to be shared soon.
Olăroiu had been in the role for just over a year, having been appointed in April 2025 to replace Portugal’s Paulo Bento.
Bento was fired in March 2025 despite a last-gasp win over North Korea in Asia’s World Cup qualifiers.
