Stjepan Tomas has resigned as manager of FC Sheriff just two days before they were set to face Manchester United in the Europa League. United are back in action on Thursday night when they welcome the Moldovan side to Old Trafford for the penultimate match in their group.
Tomas only took charge of Sheriff this summer but has chosen to vacate the position following their defeat to Petrocub at the weekend, their first league defeat of the season.
Speaking after the 1-0 loss, the Croatian manager took the blame for the defeat on himself: “It seems that the players were thinking about the match in Manchester, there was no concentration. This is my mistake."
