Jubilation as Man U finally fires David Moyes

Moyes, saying bye-bye to Man U forever

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.
Meanwhile, SHOWBIZPLUSng gathered that excitement and jubilation greeted the sack of the disgraced Scottish manager, who many believe was not the right man for the job, but surprisingly got it based on nepotism and tribalism.
