Official: "Man Utd" showed the door to record-breaker D. Moyes © EuroFootball.com

"Manchester United" football club fired the coach David Moyes on Tuesday morning, with whom a six-year contract was signed before the season. The Scotsman was fired just before his 51st birthday, which he will celebrate on April 25. Until the end of the season, the club should be led by the still playing 40-year-old midfielder Ryan Giggs. Manchester club has four more matches to play this season, but last year's champions are no longer competing for anything. Over the weekend, the team even lost the theoretical chance to play in the UEFA Champions League next season. The team last missed this tournament in 1995. In 34 matches of this season's "Premier" league, "Manchester United" won only 17 times, drew six times, and suffered 11 defeats. The club is currently only in seventh place. D.Moyes set multiple anti-records with the team. The last coach fired by "Manchester United" was Ron Atkinson in 1986. 26 years at the helm of the club, Sir Alex Ferguson, who announced the end of his career at the end of the last season, chose Moyes as his successor. The main candidates to replace the Scot are Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp and the Netherlands national team coach Louis van Gaal, leaving after the World Cup. Next season, up to £200 million is promised for new signings."
