After the comments made by Malta's national coach Siegfried Held on local football I would have believed that the Malta FA would sack him even before his last game against Israel on Wednesday in Turkey.

Malta does not need people who get a high salary for "coaching"

the national team and then insulting our players when they fail to deliver.

I think the Malta FA should finally realise that the only way that we can improve is by having a Maltese coaching the national team.

If one looks at the past the only successful coach for Malta was Pippo Psaila. So why contract foreign people who then, when they fail, start putting all the blame on the players?
