Sheffield Wednesday sack Munoz after 10-game winless start

Sheffield Wednesday have sacked manager Xisco Munoz with the Owls rooted to the bottom of the Championship table.

A 1-0 defeat at West Brom on Tuesday left Wednesday with still just two points to show from their first 10 games back in the second tier of English football.

Munoz, who led Watford to promotion from the Championship two years ago, was appointed in July following the surprise departure of Darren Moore despite securing promotion from League One.

In a statement the club said: "The Owls would like to thank Xisco and his staff for their services and wish them well for the future.

"The process to appoint a new manager is now underway and we will make no further comment at this time."

Wednesday have endured a turbulent start to the season on and off the field.

Owner Dejphon Chansiri responded to criticism by threatening last week to withdraw all future funding from the club.
