Frank de Boer has been sacked four games into the season by Crystal Palace!
At around 11am this morning after four defeats without a goal scored has brought an end to the managerial reign of the former Rangers (IL) defender.
De Boer managed Ajax twice against Celtic in recent seasons but only lasted 85 days last season in charge of Inter Milan.
A 1-0 defeat at Burnley yesterday proved to be the end of the road for the Dutchman who took over from Sam Allardyce in the summer after an extensive period of recruitment.
There has been intense speculation over the reasons for Allardyce quitting after six months at the club with the former England boss a candidate to return as is another former England boss Roy Hodgson.
While the rewards are high and de Boer will get a great pay off for failure his dismissal highlights the desperate stakes of the English game with Palace about to take on their fourth manager in less than a year.
With the endorsement of Jose Mourinho, Pedro Caixinha is expected to be linked with the job.r.
