English Premier League side Crystal Palace FC has sacked Frank de Boer after 77 days in charge.
The Dutchman, who succeeded Sam Allardyce in June, lost all four of his Premier League games without his team scoring a goal; the worst start of any top-flight club in 93 years.
The Eagles dominated a 1-0 defeat at Burnley on Sunday and De Boer hoped the improved performance would save his job, but on Monday morning he became the shortest-serving Premier League manager in terms of matches.
“Crystal Palace Football Club have this morning parted company with Frank de Boer,” a statement on the club’s website read.

“We would like to thank Frank for his dedication and hard work during his time at the Club.
“A new manager will be appointed in due course and we wish Frank the very best of luck for the future.
“There will be no further comment at this time.”
