Neil Lennon has been sacked by Rapid Bucharest after just three months in charge.

The former Celtic boss was appointed as manager of the Romanian club in May but has been relieved of his duties after a winless spell.

Lennon, 53, took the Rapid Bucharest job after more than a year out of the dugout.

However, the spell in Romania has been difficult for Lennon with his side unable to win any of his six matches in charge.

Rapid drew five times and lost once in the league this season since Lennon's arrival at the club.

A club statement confirmed: "Rapid parted company with Northern Irish coach Neil Lennon today, after only six stages of the current Romanian SuperLiga season.

"Arriving this summer, Neil Lennon did not manage to get any "official" victory on the bench of Rapid, finishing five times in a tie and losing one match, the one with Petrolul (0-1), from Ploiesti.

"Along with Neil, other members of his staff will also leave, Iain Brunskill, Andrew Liddell or Kyirakos Televantos.

"We thank him for all his dedication and energy on the Rapidu bench, especially since he has been through difficult times lately, and we wish him much success in the future!"
