Manchester United manager David Moyes has been sacked,
only 10 months after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson.
He was dismissed
at a meeting with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward at the club's Carrington
training ground shortly after 0800 BST.
Moyes, 50, was
chosen by Ferguson as the man to succeed him when he retired after 26 years in
charge last summer.
Player-coach
Ryan Giggs is expected to take charge of United's next game at home against
Norwich on Saturday.
The BBC
understands coaches Steve Round and Jimmy Lumsden have also left their posts.
The club had
previously refused to comment on national newspaper reports on Monday that
Moyes - who left Everton to sign a six-year deal with the Premier League
champions - would be dismissed before the end of the season.
But in a
statement on Tuesday the club said it "would like to place on record its
thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role".
Netherlands
coach Louis Van Gaal, Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp, Atletico Madrid's
manager Diego Simeone and Paris Saint-Germain's Laurent Blanc have already been
tipped as possible successors to Moyes.
United, who
currently lie seventh in the table with four games remaining, are guaranteed to
record their lowest ever points tally in the Premier League having struggled at
Old Trafford in particular this season.
Moyes life goes on dnt gv up
ReplyDeleteI know it will happen,records sir Alex kept was too much to rekon with,another will still come & go,as for moyes sorry for the sacrificial lamb he could'nt have come.
ReplyDeleteThis is the right decision in the right direction . Moyer is a colossal failure and a disgrace to his coaching career.
ReplyDeleteWell I feel manu did there best in giving moyes time but I guess the time was not enough. Moyes would have being a successful manager for united but he did not have the personality of a top manager like Morihno and also the players couldn't play to his game plan. I urge him not to give up, better day are ahead
