(Reuters) - Iraq's Radhi Shenaishil became the third coaching casualty of Asian World Cup qualifying Group B when he was sacked late on Monday. "We are not happy with the results and the coaching team is to be sacked and replaced by foreign staff," read a statement on the Iraq FA Facebook page (www.facebook.com/iraqfa). "The FA will work with the Iraqi government and Iraqi Olympic Committee to provide funds for a replacement." Shenaishil led Iraq to the semi-finals of the 2015 Asian Cup in a previous stint in charge and, after a spell at Baghdad club Al-Shorta, returned to mastermind the bid to qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986.
