pete 2,499 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Chris Coleman was sacked as manager of Fulham tonight. Laurie sanchez takes his place. Coleman sacked as Fulham manager Chris Coleman Coleman had been in charge at Fulham for 10 years Fulham have sacked manager Chris Coleman and his assistant Steve Kean with immediate effect. Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez will take over on a caretaker basis for the remainder of the season. Fulham lie four points above the Premiership drop zone after a seven-game winless streak, but the sacking still comes as a surprise. Fulham issued a statement thanking Coleman for his "fantastic service during his 10 years at the club". "It is disappointing that the club has no alternative but to part company," the statement continued. "As a team and organisation Fulham Football Club has goals to attain and success to achieve and by no means can this be compromised. "As part of the restructure, Steve Kean will also be replaced with immediate effect. "After consultation with the Irish FA president Jim Boyce, it is agreed that Lawrie Sanchez will join as caretaker manager for the remaining five Premiership games of the season." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Slightly surprising at the timing more than anything else. Man City stuck by Pearce and he has turned it round for them. Coleman has done a decent job at Fulham, they are a side who cant seem to grow in size, a bit like Portsmouth and Wigan. I find the Sanchez thing a good move but strange, as they must have had pre-talks or something. But I fancy him to keep them up, unfortunatly for West Ham, but I hope he doesnt give up his NI post when they are doing so well and have a great chance in qualifying. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
