Manchester City have sacked boss Stuart Pearce after two years in charge. The former England captain's contract at the City of Manchester Stadium has been terminated with immediate effect just a day after the end of the season. Chief executive Alistair Mackintosh told the club's website: "The board of directors would like to thank Stuart for his hard work and service." Pearce took over from Kevin Keegan as City manager but his side struggled to 14th in the Premiership this season. City scored just 10 goals at home all season, the worst record in the history of top-flight football. And they failed to win any of their last six matches of the campaign. (Source BBC SPORT)
