Rob Page was appointed in 2020 on an interim basis and given role permanently in September 2022, coaching Wales in Euro 2020 and 2022 World Cup; Wales lost a Euros play-off final to Poland on penalties and were beaten 4-0 by Slovakia in a friendly this month after drawing with Gibraltar
Page, who had over two years left on the contract he signed in September 2022 after guiding Wales to their first World Cup since 1958, spent four years in charge, initially being given the role on an interim basis in November 2020 after taking over from Ryan Giggs.
The 49-year-old was then appointed permanently in September 2022 after the World Cup play-off final victory over Ukraine three months earlier - although they have since won only five times in 22 games since - and oversaw the team at two major tournaments.
Page was booed by Wales fans following that thrashing in Slovakia, while there were more calls for him to quit after the goalless draw with Gibraltar, opponents ranked 203rd in the world.
Despite being non-competitive fixtures in which Wales were without several senior players, the pressure had been steadily growing on Page over the past 18 months.
