Wrexham’s League Two rivals Forest Green sack Troy Deeney after just six games in charge - days after extraordinary ‘too many babies’ comment

The former Watford striker has been sacked from his duties as player-manager by the bottom side in League Two after he failed to lead them to a single win. The side accumulated only two points throughout Deeney's tenure. The sacking comes just days after his rant towards his player after a loss to Harrogate Town. The 35-year-old's bizarre rant included calling his own players "babies" and telling Fankaty Dabo that he was "not good" in front of his teammates.

On December 20, Deeney was named Forest Green's manager following the club's dismissal of David Horseman. The striker, who is a UEFA A licenced coach, joined the League Two side from Birmingham City to serve as a player-manager.

On Thursday, in what turned out to be his final involvement with the club, Deeney was fined £1,500 and given a four-game touchline suspension for swearing at an official after getting sent off in a League Two clash against Swindon Town in December.

Forest Green Rovers' players will not have a lot of time to reset from the major change in the club as they will face off against Gillingham, who sit in eighth in the league, on Saturday, January 20.
