Charlton sack head coach Peeters

LONDON (Reuters) - Bob Peeters has been sacked as head coach of Charlton after eight months in charge, the English Championship club said on Sunday.





Peeters, who signed a 12-month contract with the second tier side in May, leaves the Charlton 14th in the table with 31 points from 25 matches.

The Belgian made a promising start as manager but Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion means Charlton have gone eight league games without a win.

"Charlton have terminated the contract of head coach Bob Peeters with immediate effect," the club said in a statement on their website (www.cafc.co.uk).

Senior professional development coach Patrick van Houdt and performance analyst Guy Kiala have also had their contracts terminated.
