Aidy Boothroyd sacked as Coventry City manager
Coventry City have sacked their manager Aidy Boothroyd after less than 10 months in charge at the Ricoh Arena, having won on just one occasion this year.
Final straw: the decision to sack Boothroyd came after Coventry's 1-0 home defeat to Hull, the side's tenth defeat in 16 games. Photo: PA

The Midlands club were fourth in the Championship in early November but have won just one of their past 16 games and are now just seven points outside the relegation zone, in 19th place.
Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Hull City was the final straw for the board, who have replaced Boothroyd and his assistant manager Martin Pert, temporarily, with first team coach Steve Harrison, and the chief scout Andy Thorn.
They will be in joint charge for Tuesday's match at Burnley.
A Coventry City club statement read: "The board of Coventry City Football Club has relieved Aidy Boothroyd of his first team duties with immediate effect. Assistant manager Martin Pert has also been relieved of his duties.
"First team coach Steve Harrison and chief scout Andy Thorn will be placed in temporary charge of team affairs."
