The 54-year-old, whose contract was terminated by mutual consent, took charge of the team in December 2011 but under his guidance Belarus finished last in their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Belarus have picked up only one point from three Euro 2016 qualifiers, and are lying in fifth place in Group C.
