Steve McClaren sacked by Derby due to 'decline in results, unity and morale'

Steve McClaren has been sacked by Derby for the second time in less than two years.

The 55-year-old former England manager returned to Derby last October, following his May 2015 dismissal, but a wretched run of results has ended his second spell.

"Derby County has parted company with manager Steve McClaren with immediate effect," the Sky Bet Championship club said in a statement.
