Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler was dismissed as manager of Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah – despite their unbeaten start to the league season. The Saudi second-tier side announced the news on social media early on Friday, saying they had terminated Fowler’s contract. The club thanked the former England international for his work since being installed as manager this summer. Almost immediately after announcing Fowler’s departure, Qadsiah confirmed former Real Madrid and Spain forward Michel would be his successor.
