Belarus boss handed vote of no confidence after Scotland loss

Belarus boss Carlos Alos has been handed a vote of confidence by his FA after his country's World Cup defeat to Scotland.

Steve Clarke's side eased to a 2-0 win in Hungary to inflict a second loss to the former Soviet nation after they had been walloped by Greece 5-1 in their opening game.

Spanish boss Alos has been heavily criticised in his homeland following the defeat, but the Belarus FA have insisted they continue to back him.

Belarus FA president Andrei Vasilevich said: "The head coach of the main national team is Carlos Alos. He has a valid contract.

"He will return and present a report to us after analysing the two games.

"We will also be analysing his work. Conclusions will be made later.

"The mathematical chances of reaching the playoffs are, of course, much lower now than before the September matches, but we are now preparing for the matches in October.

"We would also point out that his work is not just measured by results and also how the players performed cannot be solely attributed to the head coach."
