    ARMENIA DROPS COACH

    YEREVAN, Armenia - Armenia's soccer federation said Thursday it would
    not extend coach Henk Wisman's contract and would appoint a replacement
    to lead the team in qualifying for the 2008 European Championship.

    "The soccer federation of Armenia refused to extend its contract
    with Henk Wisman, head coach of the national team," Araik Manukian,
    spokesman for the federation, told The Associated Press.

    Wisman, from the Netherlands, took over in May 2005 and was contracted
    until the end of the World Cup qualifying last October, with an option
    to extend his term for another two years.

    Wisman replaced France's Bernard Casoni and was Armenia's fourth
    foreign coach in three years, but Armenia lost five matches under
    him and finished next-to-last-last in its World Cup qualifying group.
