Liverpool icon gets sacked despite not having a single loss and Manager of the Month award

It's no good when you lose. That's an old truth. But now it seems you can get fired even if you never lose.

At least, that's the case with Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler, who Saudi Arabian second-division side Al Qadsiah has sacked despite winning six and drawing two of their eight opening matches.

Moreover, Fowler was named the Manager of the Month last week after two wins and a draw from September. His shock dismissal comes just days before the top-of-the-table clash with Al Orobah in the Saudi First Division League, which is one level down from the Saudi Pro League. Former Sevilla manager Michel Gonzalez replaced the 48-year-old.

The move to Saudi Arabia brought Fowler his fourth managerial job after spells with Muangthong United, Brisbane Roar and East Bengal - before his two-year hiatus ended with the opportunity to move to the Middle East.

In a tweet, Al Qadsiah wrote:

"Al Qadsiah FC terminates its contractual relationship with coach Robbie Fowler. He thanks the coach for what he provided during the contractual period with the team."
