Neil Lennon Sacked as Rapid Bucharest Manager

Neil Lennon has been dismissed as manager of Rapid Bucharest after just six games, during which the team failed to secure a single victory, drawing five and losing one. Appointed in May, Lennon's tenure was marred by poor results and controversy, including unfounded allegations about his behavior at training. Despite a recent vote of confidence from club president Viorel Moldovan, the mounting pressure from fans and the club's position at the bottom of the league ultimately led to his dismissal. The club is expected to pay Lennon's release clause, estimated between €250,000 to €350,000, as they seek to change direction. Lennon, who signed a two-year contract, now faces an uncertain future in management, potentially returning to punditry. His brief stint at Rapid Bucharest underscores the challenges he faced in reviving his managerial career after an 18-month hiatus.
