Cardiff City have sacked their manager Paul Trollope after a poor start to their Championship season. The Welsh club are next to bottom of the table after their latest defeat to Burton Albion on Saturday.
The 44-year-old succeeded Russell Slade in the summer but has lasted just 12 matches this season and has paid the price for a disappointing start to the campaign.
Trollope has won only two of his 11 Championship games in charge and oversaw defeat in the EFL Cup at the hands of his old club Bristol Rovers.
A statement on the club’s website read: “Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that Paul Trollope’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect. We would like to thank Paul for his efforts and wish him the very best of luck for the future.
“Assistant coach Lennie Lawrence and performance director Ryland Morgans have also left the club with our best wishes. An announcement regarding Paul’s successor will be made in due course.”
