Hart resigns as Canada coach

Stephen Hart has resigned as Canada football coach, two days after the team was eliminated from World Cup qualifying with an 8-1 loss at Honduras.



Canadian football Association president Victor Montagliani announced Thursday that Hart had quit.



Canada needed a tie or win to advance to next year's six-nation finals in North and Central America and the Caribbean. The seven-goal loss was its largest margin since an 8-0 defeat at Mexico in 1993.



Hart was hired in December 2009. Including an interim stint in 2006-07, he managed Canada to a 20-15-10 record.
