Plymouth Argyle sack head coach Ian Foster after just three months in charge at Home Park.
Ian Foster won just four of his 17 games in charge - only three of those wins came in the ChampionshipAfter an initial good start, Argyle's form fell away drastically over the past two months as they won just one of 11 Championship games.Director of Football Neil Dewsnip and first-team coach Kevin Nancekivell will take charge of the team for the remainder of the season.
"But we have to balance long-term stability against short-term decisions, and we have given Ian as long as possible to see if results could improve. Immediately after the Bristol City loss Foster said he had had no discussions with the Argyle board about his future in the role, or any concerns that the club might seek a new head coach.
But he mainly brought in inexperienced youngsters on loan to replace the platers he lost, while he failed to get goals out of previously free-scoring Ryan Hardie and Morgan Whittaker over the past two months. But with his success with England Under-20s and the accomplishments of other England youth coaches such as Steve Cooper and Rob Edwards, the club could be forgiven for thinking they were hiring someone who could offer similar success.
