Stoke City sack Narcis Pelach after just three months in charge
Stoke City parted ways with head coach Narcis Pelach after just 19 games in charge, describing the Spaniard as “unsuitable”.
Perach replaced Steven Schumacher on 18 September and signed a three-year contract, but has only won three times in the championship, the last of which came on 6 November when the Potters finished in the points Ranked 19th on the list.
They were beaten 2-0 by Leeds United on Boxing Day, during which time the 36-year-old was sent off. Criticized for constantly changing tactics.
Sporting director Jon Walters admitted in a statement that he took responsibility for the appointment and Perach’s failure to turn around the club’s fortunes.
“Narcisse is a talented coach with tremendous potential,” Walters said. “He has worked relentlessly and hard and I have no doubt he will continue to be successful in the future.
“However, looking at the results and performances in recent weeks, we have to admit with hindsight that he is proving not to be the right fit for this club at the moment.
“I take full responsibility for this and I am absolutely determined that we will now make the right choices to take us forward.
“Every decision we make is driven by our love for Stoke City and our absolute determination to bring success to the club.”
Peracci is former Stoke City striker Walters’ first appointment as sporting director earlier this year.
