The absolute underdog of the English championship, Mick McCarthy, was fired from the position of head coach on Monday. The official reason for the dismissal was the poor performance of the team.
Mick McCarthy, who had been leading the Sunderland team for three years, was dismissed by the club's board after suffering their 22nd defeat of the season on Sunday, losing 2-1 to Manchester City away.
Club president Bob Murray claimed full responsibility for the team's extremely poor season. B. Murray also apologized to the fans for disappointing them.
Mick McCarthy took over at Sunderland in March 2003, but back then he failed to save the club from relegation from the Premier League. Last season, the 47-year-old McCarthy helped Sunderland return to the top division of English football.
In the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Mick McCarthy was in charge of the Irish national team.
