Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has been sacked from his managerial position at Al-Qadsiyah despite his side currently occupying second-place in the Saudi second division.
This update comes courtesy of sports broadcaster Ben Jacobs on X (formerly Twitter), with the outfit in question having enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season (six wins and two draws), not to mention the most robust defence in the league with only three goals conceded thus far.

It’s a decision that’s sure to have many a football fan across the globe scratching their heads in confusion and wondering what on earth could have possibly gotten into decision-makers at the club.
