Azerbaijan coach Berti Vogts extends contract to 2014 World Cup
The Azerbaijan coach Berti Vogts has extended his contract through to the 2014 World Cup, Guardian reported.
The country's football association unanimously decided to retain the German coach, who turns 65 in December, despite Azerbaijan finishing second from bottom in their Euro 2012 qualifying group.
Vogts, who won the 1974 World Cup as a player, had indicated earlier this year that he was thinking of leaving the job, saying that too much was expected of his team, ranked 113th by Fifa.
The much-travelled Vogts guided his native Germany to the European Championship title in 1996 and has also coached Kuwait, Scotland and Nigeria.
