Former Hibs boss Neil Lennon axed by Omonia Nicosia just hours after post-match media duties

Former Hibs boss Neil Lennon has been sacked as Omonia Nicosia manager - just hours after taking part in post-match media duties.

The ex-Celtic manager spoke to the Cypriot press for the final time following defeat to Nea Salamis. The loss leaves his now ex-club sitting seventh in the domestic league standings and well off the pace in the race for the league title. Omonia posted the full video of Lennon's press conference on their social media platforms just 30 minutes before announcing that he had been axed due to the 'ongoing competitive instability and the significant losses of points.'

The one-time Easter Road gaffer landed domestic silverware within months of arriving in Cyprus and with that a spot in the Europa League. After successfully defeating Gent in the play-off round they landed a group stage section alongside Manchester United, Real Sociedad and FC Sherriff. Lennon was twice so close to historic results with Erik ten Hag's men grabbing an added time winner at Old Trafford last time out.
