(Reuters) - Legia Warsaw has sacked head coach Besnik Hasi in just over three months after a run of poor results left the Polish champions sitting third-from-bottom in the league table after nine games.
In his short tenure, the 44-year-old Albanian, who was appointed in June, led the club into the Champions League group stage, the first time in 20 years a Polish club made an appearance in Europe's elite club competition.
However, Legia lost 6-0 at home to German side Borussia Dortmund, their biggest loss in Europe, and are facing possible sanctions from UEFA for crowd trouble.
European governing body will take the decision on Sept. 28.
Assistant coach Aleksandar Vukovic will act as caretaker manager while the club searches for Hasi's replacement.
"The assistant coach Aleksandar Vukovic will be a caretaker as of Monday," club said.
