English professional football club, Stoke City has sacked manager Michael O’Neill after a poor start to the Championship season.

Stoke has won just one of their first five Championship games, leaving them one place outside of the bottom three after targeting promotion in pre-season.

They were beaten 1-0 at home to Sunderland on Saturday and, earlier this month, they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the first round by League One Morecambe.

Assistant manager Dean Holden will take interim charge of the first team.
