Andy Walker claims that he would sack manager Ronny Deila

Sky Sports pundit Andy Walker claims that he would sack manager Ronny Deila immediately from his position at Celtic after yet another poor performance in a high-profile match.

The club suffered a 2-1 loss against Aberdeen, who are seen as their main title challengers. The Scottish Premier League title should be a walk in the park for Celtic due to the lack of competition from Rangers, but this has not been the case.Deila came on as a replacement for Neil Lennon and he has struggled to provide consistency to the results.

It has provided opportunities for the likes of Aberdeen to remain in with a chance to win the title with only 12 weeks left in the season. Just a few days after experiencing a 3-1 loss against Ross County in the League Cup, Celtic have suffered another loss in the hands of Aberdeen. This has reduced their advantage in the league table to just three points and it is anyone’s league title now. Walker claimed that Deila had lost the trust of many Celtic fans and that it was time for the manager to go. Poor results in Europe were the first sign of discontent amongst Celtic fans. The club has won the league championship for the last four seasons in a row.

Hubert Fournier has been relieved of his duties as the head coach of Lyon

Hubert Fournier has been relieved of his duties as the head coach of Lyon and it’s his deputy Bruno who will take his place on an interim basis.

The decision to sack Fournier came in the aftermath of the defeat at the hands of Ajaccio which stretched Lyon’s winless run to 6 games.

The last time Lyon had won was in November when they had toppled Saint Etienne.

The statement announcing the sacking of Fournier read, “After the failure of the team to meet the expectations of supporters, it’s been decided to make some changes in support staff.”

“The chairman has had a meeting with suitable people in the club and a lot of things (the appointment of overseas technicians etc.) have been taken into consideration. Steps regarding that will be taken soon.”

“For the time being, Bruno will step up to fill the vacancy of the manager and he will carry on for the rest of the season.”

Fournier had taken charge at Lyon in July 2014 and had done a good job on his arrival.

Under him, Lyon had emerged as serious contenders to become the champions in French top flight in 2014-15.

But, Fournier couldn’t quite wave his magic this season.

Lyon struggled for consistency right from the beginning of the summer and apart from a couple of performances, they never quite looked the same team which had done so well the previous season.

Ac.Milan dropped their performance to Worst Levels

Ac.Milan has gone from being considered as one of the best clubs in Europe to a club that is struggling just to secure victories on a consistent manner.

Their latest result saw the team of FilippoInzaghi only being able to snatch a draw against Empoli, a team that is located in the bottom spots of the Italian League and was just recently promoted to Serie A.

There has been criticism launched towards the owner of Ac.Milan, Silvio Berlucosni as he is simply not providing enough funds for the manager to acquire good players and this is why the Italian club has not enjoyed an impressive series of transfer windows in the past few years.

Things began to fall apart for Ac.Milan ever since Thiago Silva and ZlatanIbrahimovic were both offloaded to PSG and the club has not find any players that can fill in their boots.
