Graham Alexander has broken his silence after being sacked by Motherwell.
The former Fir Park boss left the Steelmen after a bruising Europa Conference League qualifying defeat to Sligo Rovers. The Irish League side left Lanarkshire with a 1-0 first leg lead, and only increased the deficit back home, beating Motherwell 2-0 at the Showgrounds seven days later. Alexander was gone the following afternoon. Academy director Steven Hammell has been placed in temporary charge, with the club’s post-war record appearance holder overseeing a 1-0 win away to St Mirren days later in their Premiership season opener.
Now Alexander has opened up on his dismissal following a poor run of form last season, that was only exacerbated by being dumped out of Europe at the first hurdle. Ina statement released via the League Managers Association, the former Scotland international reflected on the “daunting” challenge he and assistant Chris Lucketti faced when taking the reigns 18 months ago.
