Diego Maradona has been sacked as manager of United Arab Emirates club Al-Wasl.
The legendary Argentinian's position had been in doubt since last month when the club's entire board resigned following a trophyless season.
Maradona was appointed boss in May last year but after only managing eighth place in the Pro-League in his first season in charge he has been sacked after meeting the new board on Tuesday.
Maradona still had a year to run on his contract with the ambitious Dubai-based club.
The 51-year-old had been brought in to help boost the club's profile, both on and off the pitch, but in addition to a disappointing league campaign they crashed out of the President's Cup and Emirates Cup at the quarter-final stage.
