Last updated : 03 September 2018 By CNS Sport

Bradford City have sacked their manager after only six matches.

Michael Collins became head coach at Valley Parade on June 18th having former City youngster Greg Abbott alongside him.

However, after six matches, the Bradford board have decided to relieve the 32 year old of his duties and will announce his replacement tomorrow.

Chairman Edin Rahic said to Bradford City's club website: “Stefan (Rupp) and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael for the work he has done for the club.

“The decision is based on an unsatisfactory start to the season and performances not being good enough. We anticipated a much better start and the results have not matched expectations.

“We have acted swiftly to appoint a new head coach who we believe will take us towards achieving our goals this season and beyond.

“We care massively about this football club and believe this decision has been made at the right time, with everything very much to play for.

“We are now looking forward to naming our new head coach and moving forward, together, in a positive manner.”
