Vladimir Weiss has quit as the coach of Slovakia's national football team, the Slovak Football Association said Monday.
"Slovakia's Football Association has agreed with Weiss on ending their contract effective January 31," its head Jan Kovacik said without elaborating on the reason.
The 47-year-old, whose contract ran till 2014, will continue as the coach of Slovan Bratislava.
Weiss, who took charge of the national team in 2008, guided Slovakia to the last 16 of the 2010 World Cup on their debut at the finals.
The Slovakians beat defending champions Italy 3-2 in the group stage before losing to the Netherlands in the second round.
His 20-year-old son Vladimir, a midfielder on Manchester City's books, was also part of the Slovak team.
Weiss, who played for the former Czechoslovakia at the World Cup in Italy in 1990, previously coached Slovak top-flight side Artmedia Petrzalka and Russia's Saturn Ramenskoye.
The coach's father, also Vladimir, helped Czechoslovakia win the silver medal in the football tournament at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964.
