Jim McGuinness sacked as manager of Charlotte Independence

Jim McGuinness has been sacked as Charlotte Independence manager.

The former Donegal GAA boss recorded just one win in 14 games with the American club who play in the USL Eastern Conference.

They played out a 0-0 draw against Swope Park Rangers in his final game last weekend and last won a league match in April.

Jim McPhilliamy, Independence President and Managing Partner, said: "Jim McGuinness has improved our club in many ways, including bringing talent to our roster and instituting new training methodologies - both of which we hope to continue moving forward.

"As a club, our performance is measured on the pitch and collectively, we’ve fallen short. On behalf of ownership, front office and team, the Charlotte Independence organisation thanks Coach McGuinness for his service to the club."
