Graham Alexander leaves Motherwell as boss pays the price for Sligo Rovers embarrassment

Boss Graham Alexander has left Motherwell by mutual consent after 18 months in charge at Fir Park following the humiliating Europa Conference League defeat at the hands of Silgo Rovers.

The 50-year-old watched his Steelmen fail to score over 180 hopeless minutes as the Irish side dominated their Scottish Premiership rivals both home and away. Shane Blaney's stunner and Max Mata's late strike in the second leg rounded off a convincing 3-0 aggregate victory for Rovers with tensions hitting boiling point with the Motherwell supporters due to their rotten run of form during 2022.

A sizeable travelling support was there for all to hear as Well's flops were showered with a chorus of boos from half-time onwards within The Showgrounds as the dismal display rumbled on, ending the Lanarkshire side's European campaign before it had even begun. Despite finishing fifth in the table, it's been a lacklustre run for Alexander having won just three games this year.
