Everton sacks Ronald Koeman due to poor form

Everton have sacked Dutch manager Ronald Koeman following a poor start to the season, the club confirmed in a statement on Monday.

The sacks comes following Sunday's 5-2 Premier League loss against Arsenal, which leaves the club in the bottom three of the table with just eight points from nine games.

Everton are also likely to crash out of the Europa League at the group stage after picking up only one point in their opening three games.

The club posted a statement confirming the departure via their Twitter account which read:

Everton Football Club can confirm that Ronald Koeman has left the Club.

Chairman Bill Kenwright, the Board of Directors and Major Shareholder Farhad Moshiri would all like to express their gratitude to Ronald for the service he has given to the Club over the past 16 months and for guiding the Club to seventh place in last season's Premier League campaign.
