Zenga resigns as coach of Romanian club Dinamo Bucharest

Former Italy goalkeeper Walter Zenga has resigned as coach of Dinamo Bucharest.

"We parted in civilized conditions," Zenga told the club's Web site. "We all wanted to get results together, but we did not succeed."

Zenga was appointed just over two months ago at Dinamo, which won the league title last year but has struggled this season. His resignation comes after Dinamo lost 1-0 at Steaua Bucharest on Sunday.

Dinamo is in seventh place in the league, 13 points behind league leader CFR Cluj.

The Romanian club is also out of European competition, being defeated by Lazio in the Champions League qualifiers and then by Swedish club Elfsborg in the UEFA Cup.

Dinamo appointed former player Cornel Talnar as its new coach, said club president Nicolae Badea. Another former player, Cornel Dinu, was appointed as technical director to work with Talnar.

Zenga also coached Steaua, but was sacked in 2005 despite leading it to the top of the league and the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.
