Peterborough United sack manager Ferguson
He leaves with the side bottom of the table
Bottom of the League One table Peterborough United have sacked manager Darren Ferguson.
A 2-1 defeat by Blackpool was the final action for the 53-year-old time in charge of the Posh dugout in his fourth spell in charge of the club.
He goes down as a legend at the club having guided the side to promotion on four occasions - and also winning the EFL Trophy in the last two seasons.
This season Ferguson leaves with Posh five points adrift safety.
Chairman Darragh MacAnthony said in a statement.
"I have made the decision to terminate Darren Ferguson's contract after today's game,"
"The decision wasn't taken lightly but it's a decision I feel is the correct one for the football club.
"The gaffer is for me the greatest manager in the club's history who I will always consider to be part of my family and the club's family.
"There are too many wonderful moments to mention here but those many historical celebrated moments I will cherish and remember forever.
"From Monday onwards we start healing and moving forward.
"Goodbye legend and thank you."
