Ronny Deila has been sacked by Club Brugge.

The former Celtic manager was dismissed from his role at the club after a nightmare season to date.

Deila only made the move to Brugge - from rival club Standard Liege - in May last year but has been sacked after just 10 months.

The Norwegian manager had been branded a traitor by furious Standard supporters after his move to Club Brugge.

And he endured a difficult period at his new club before ultimately being removed from post.

Club chiefs felt Deila had to go after "disappointing results and level of play" this season with Brugge fourth in the Belgian top flight - and 17 points behind top side Union Saint-Gilloise.

Deila was sacked on Monday following another disappointing weekend with Brugge falling to a 2-1 loss to STVV.

A club statement confirmed: "Ronny Deila is no longer head coach of Club Brugge.

"Deila (48) has been head coach of Blauw-Zwart since the beginning of this season. After disappointing results and level of play, it was decided to discontinue the collaboration with head coach Ronny Deila and assistants Efrain Juarez and Kristof Aelbrecht. 

"In recent weeks, Club has not seen enough of Club Brugge's DNA in the game delivered and the sporting management is convinced that better results should be possible with the current core.

"Club Brugge is looking for a new head coach with a view to next season. 

"In the meantime, Club NXT head coach Nicky Hayen will take over. He will be supported in this by Michiel Jonckheere (head coach U18) and the other current staff members of Club A."
