David Moyes: Manchester United manager sacked by club

Manchester United manager David Moyes has been sacked, only 10 months after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.

The club had previously refused to comment on national newspaper reports on Monday that Moyes would be dismissed before the end of the season.

Moyes, 50, was chosen by Ferguson as the man to succeed him when he retired after 26 years in charge last summer.

Moyes left Everton to sign a six-year deal with the Premier League champions.

In a statement the club said it "would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role".

United, who currently lie in seventh place in the table with four games remaining, will record their lowest ever points tally in the Premier League having struggled at Old Trafford in particular.

Under Moyes, they have lost six league games at home, been beaten in the FA Cup by Swansea and were unable to prevent Sunderland knocking them out of the Capital One Cup in the semi-finals.

In March, some supporters chartered a plane to fly overhead trailing a banner with the words "Wrong One - Moyes Out" - a reference to the banner at Old Trafford that proclaimed Moyes to be the "Chosen One" - during the Premier League win over Aston Villa.





 
All the A-list managers are staying put or going elsewhere... Man Utd will get Tata Martino, Solkjaer, AVB or Steve Bruce. :D
 
They are in bad shape but not that bad. The worst case scenario is for SAF to come back as an interim manager, although at this point it appears to be remote.

David Moyes: Manchester United manager sacked by club

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.

Man Utd's disappointing season
•Defeated in Champions League quarter-final by Bayern Munich
•Beaten in League Cup semi-final by Sunderland
•Lost at home to Swansea in the third round of the FA Cup
•Five points from a possible 24 against the current Premier League top four of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal
•Defeat against Everton confirmed club will miss out on Champions League for first time in 18 seasons
Under Moyes, they have lost six league games at home, been beaten in the FA Cup by Swansea at Old Trafford and were unable to prevent Sunderland knocking them out of the Capital One Cup in the semi-finals.

In March, some supporters chartered a plane to fly overhead trailing a banner with the words "Wrong One - Moyes Out" - a reference to the banner at Old Trafford that proclaimed Moyes to be the "Chosen One" - during the Premier League win over Aston Villa.

The Reds will also miss out on Champions League football for the first time since 1995 and are in danger of missing out on European competition altogether for the first time since 1990.

United did reach the last eight of the Champions League before being knocked out by Bayern Munich and Moyes argued that their best displays had been in the competition.

But the Scot has been dogged by claims he has fallen out with members of his squad.

When midfielder Anderson joined Fiorentina on loan in January, he was quoted as saying other United players "wanted out" although he later denied it.

Rio Ferdinand and Robin van Persie also made less than complimentary comments about his management style, while Javier Hernandez and Wilfried Zaha posted cryptic quotes on Twitter.

Analysis
Simon Stone
BBC Sport -David Moyes' exit was inevitable after Sunday's awful performance at Everton.

A dressing room source labelled the performance as "lacking desire and passion" and "the basic heart of the team has disappeared". It had seemed for some time the players had stopped trying for Moyes. This confirmed it.

In truth, the Scot has never looked at ease in the job.

He was taken aback by the sheer scale of the media interest in United. He downplayed situations when the club are used to scaling heights and he failed to impress players who own more medals than he can ever hope to amass.

The big problem for United is that having taken Sir Alex Ferguson's word on the appointment, who do they turn to now?
At the weekend, Manchester-born striker Danny Welbeck was reported to be considering his future after becoming frustrated at regularly being played out of his favoured position.

Moyes left Everton after 11 seasons saying he could not turn down the opportunity to move to Old Trafford and began his job on 1 July.

However, United endured a difficult summer transfer window and failed in reported bids for Barcelona's Thiago Alcantara and Cesc Fabregas.

A double bid for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines was dismissed as "derisory and insulting" by Moyes' old club Everton, although Fellaini finally joined on transfer deadline day for £27.5m.

Moyes was unhappy United were given a difficult start to the season, playing Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City in their first five games.

"I find it hard to believe that's the way the balls came out of the bag, that's for sure," he said.

But his reign began in style with a 2-0 victory over Wigan Athletic in the Community Shield at Wembley, followed by a 4-1 win away at Swansea City in the first league game of the season.

However, things quickly got worse with defeats at Liverpool and City, setting the tone for what would become United's worst ever Premier League season.

With the exception of Matt Busby's additional 21 games in charge as emergency manager following Wilf McGuinness' exit in 1970 and the 22 games when Jimmy Murphy stood in for Busby after the Munich crash, Moyes' reign represents the third shortest in United history.

It is also the first time since 6 November 1986, that Manchester United have sacked a manager.

The Scot's 49 games in charge exceeds only the 43 matches Walter Crickmer presided over during the first of his two spells as manager. Lal Hilditch was in charge for the least time, lasting just 33 games between October 1926 and April 1927.

Diego Simeone has been targeted by Monaco to replace 'The Nearly Man' aka Tinkerman. To be second in the league behind PSG and a trophyless season is unacceptable to the club owners.

Forget about Mourinho and Klopp... they won't be leaving their current clubs. :cool:

Simeone's Atletico is winning the La Liga, he's doing well.

Rafa Benitez is also doing okay at Napoli, and the Man Utd fanbase won't want him for political reasons. ;)

The best you can hope for is Van Gaal, and only if you can lure him away from Spurs.

This is the problem with a lot of Man Utd fans... they think that since they're a big club, they are entitled to a big name manager. The footballing business doesn't quite work that way. Fact.
 
Spurs, Newcastle linked with ex-Man Utd boss Moyes

Sacked Manchester United boss David Moyes won't be short of offers this summer.

Moyes was given the chop this morning after a horror 11 months in charge.

Newcastle United and Tottenham are already being mentioned as destinations for the Scot.

A return to Celtic could also be on if their manager Neil Lennon is tempted south in the summer.

No need for BIG name manager for a BIG club like Man U. Just need someone with good football sense, a good motivator and an ego half the size of Mou.:rolleyes:

GO REDS GO!!!!!!!!!
 
AVB will not "be joining" Zenit. He is already there!!! :D

Bytheway, Laurent Blanc, one of the candidates for the job is also an ex Man Utd player. He will give Paul Ince, Roy Keane, Bryan Robson, Mark Hughes and Steve Bruce a run for their money. :p

EdenHazard said:
Sorry but AVB will be joining Zenit in reunion with Hulk. Anyway he is still traumatized by english clubs after sacking by Chelsea and Spurs. :D

No, only 1 year salary redundancy as kpi for CL qualification not met

David Moyes will receive no more than £5million in compensation after being sacked by Manchester United due to a clause in his contract.
The former Everton boss lasted just 10 months of his six-year contract and, as a result of a terrible season for last year's Premier League winners, Moyes will be feeling the financial effect.
An 'ejector seat' clause in his contract, inserted in case United failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, limits his compensation to no more than 12 months of salary.
