Manager Berg sacked by Blackburn

Blackburn Rovers have sacked manager Henning Berg after just 57 days in charge at Ewood Park. The 43-year-old former Rovers defender replaced Steve Kean on 31 October but the club have won just one of their 10 matches since his appointment. The Norwegian's final game was a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough on Boxing Day, Blackburn's fifth loss in six outings. Rovers are already talking to potential replacements and hope to make an announcement shortly.
