Stoke City have sacked manager Gary Rowett after eight months in charge, with the club currently 14th in the Championship.
Rowett was appointed in May after a compensation package was agreed with his former club, Derby. The 44-year-old was tasked with leading Stoke to an immediate Premier League return, but has won only eight league games out of 26 this season.
