manager Ian Baraclough after a poor start to the
2015-16 season.
Motherwell have parted company with manager Ian Baraclough
after the Scottish Premiership side made a poor start to the
2015-16 season.
Tuesday's shock 3-2 extra-time League Cup defeat to
Championship outfit Greenock Morton was the last straw for the
club's board.
Motherwell have won just two of their eight league matches to
kick off the new Premiership campaign, scoring only five goals.
Baraclough took charge at Fir Park in December 2014 and
overcame a poor start to keep them in the top flight by winning
a two-legged play-off over Rangers.
Ultimately, though, he has lasted just nine months in the
position, with his fate sealed after the cup exit to second-tier
opposition.
"The board of directors would like to sincerely thank Ian for his
great efforts last season and keeping the club in the SPFL
Premiership for this very important season in the club history,
with the 130th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of the 1991
Scottish Cup celebrated at the end of the season," read the
club's statement.
"The board will immediately commence the search for a new
manager."
