Ronald Koeman has been sacked as Everton manager.
The Toffees sit third bottom in the Premier League after winning just two of their opening nine league games and the Dutchman has paid the price.
A statement from the club read: “Chairman Bill Kenwright, the board of directors and major shareholder Farhad Moshiri would all like to express their gratitude to Ronald for the service he has given to the club over the past 16 months and for guiding the club to seventh place in last season’s Premier League campaign.”
Following his sacking Twitter went into full banter mode and here are the best tweets.

Liverpool should act now and sign Koeman. He would be our best Centre Half by a country mile.
