Rowett sacked by Stoke after just eight months

Stoke City have sacked manager Gary Rowett after just eight months in charge.

Rowett left Derby County to take over at the bet365 Stadium in May, with Stoke having been relegated from the Premier League.

However, things have not gone as planned for the 44-year-old, and the Potters have failed to win any of their last four games.

The final straw for Rowett came following the disappointing 1-1 draw with League One side Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.

Stoke were only saved from a humiliating exit by a 78th-minute Peter Crouch goal.
