Blackburn Rovers sack manager Gary Bowyer following a two-year spell in charge of the club.

Blackburn Rovers have sacked manager Gary Bowyer following a two-year spell in charge of the club.

The 44-year-old, who was appointed permanent boss in 2013 after two caretaker stints, managed to guide the club to just three wins in 16 Championship games this season.

Rovers, who are the fifth Championship club looking for a new manager, currently reside 16th in the table following three wins, eight draws and five defeats.

Assistant manager Terry McPhillips, first-team coaches Craig Short and Tony Grant, as well as goalkeeping coach John Keeley have also been dismissed by the club.

A statement via the club's official website said: "The owners felt that following a disappointing start to the season, they have to act in order to give the club the best chance of success in the remainder of the campaign.

"The owners wish to place on record their sincere gratitude for the hard work and determination Gary has given the club, both in his capacity as manager and previously as Under-21 coach and within the academy, in particular during the difficult period following relegation from the Premier League.

"Rovers' owners and board of directors will begin the search immediately to appoint a new manager."

After the international break, Blackburn will take on Preston North End at Deepdale on November 21.
