LONDON: Norwegian manager Henning Berg has been sacked as coach of Blackburn Rovers after only 57 days in the job, the Indian-owned English Championship club announced yesterday.
Berg signed a three-year contract but he guided Blackburn to just one victory in his 10 matches at the helm and Wednesday’s 1-0 loss at Middlesbrough was the team’s fifth defeat in six matches.
“Blackburn Rovers FC has announced the departure of manager Henning Berg, assistant manager Eric Black, first team coach Iain Brunskill and goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms with immediate effect,” read a statement. AFP
