Sunderland has terminated the contract of head coach Michael Beale after just 12 games in charge citing disappointing results including back-to-back Championship defeats. Beale who took over from Tony Mowbray in December, faced discontent from fans despite the team being four points off the play-off places.
The decision comes after recent losses to Huddersfield and Birmingham causing Sunderland to slip to 10th in the table. Assistant Mike Dodds will serve as interim coach until the end of the season. Beale’s departure marks the second consecutive job ending in disappointment after his dismissal by Rangers in October.
