Man Utd legend Stam sacked by FC Cincinnati
Manchester United treble winner, Jaap Stam, has been sacked by FC Cincinnati.
The former United and AC Milan defender was appointed coach of the MLS side in May 2020.
FC Cincinnati president Jeff Berding announced the decision after the club suffered a 4-2 defeat at DC United, their third loss in a row.
He told the club’s website: “During our nearly two-month process to identify the next General Manager for FC Cincinnati, it was apparent that a Head Coach change was necessary.
“Therefore, after a great deal of deliberation, the club has made the decision to now move to the future with Jaap no longer serving as Head Coach.

“We believe a change in leadership is in the best interest of the club at this time, and a new General Manager will lead the search for a new Head Coach.
“We are an ambitious club and we remain focused on achieving our goals, the first of which is making Cincinnati a championship city.
“We thank Jaap for everything he has done for FC Cincinnati during his time here, and we wish him the best as he can now head home to be with his family.”
