Crystal Palace sack Frank de Boer after just 77 days
His 77 days in charge mean he is the third shortest-serving Premier League manager when it comes to time in his job, with the Dutchman also having departed Inter Milan last November after just 85 days.
Frank de Boer has been sacked by Crystal. De Boer failed to secure a point or score a goal in their first four Premier League games, making his reign the shortest in Premier League history in terms of games played, but leaves with a £5million pay-off having only signed a three-year deal worth £2million a year in June.
