Sacked! Steve McClaren has been sacked

Steve McClaren has been sacked by

Championship side Derby County .
The former England manager's contract has been
terminated with immediate effect after the club's
review of the 2014/2015 season.
The Rams topped the table at one stage of the
campaign, but ultimately transpired to finish
outside the play-off places after a dire final few
months.
It completes a miserable year for McClaren, who
oversaw his Derby side get to the Championship
play-off final last season and lose to a last
minute QPR goal.
A club statement read:
Derby County have terminated the contract of
Head Coach Steve McClaren with immediate
effect.
The decision follows a thorough review of the
2014/15 season by the club’s Board of Directors.
The Board believes that the appointment of a new
Head Coach is required to continue the club’s
on-field progress and the search is now
underway to appoint a successor.
The Board remains firmly committed and driven
to achieving promotion to the Premier League .
The club would also like to take this opportunity
to wish Steve McClaren well for the future and
thank him for his work throughout his tenure,
which included a Play-Off Final appearance in
2014.
