Anelka brother quits Raith

CLAUDE ANELKA, the brother and agent of Manchester City’s French striker Nicolas, has left Raith Rovers after a miserable five-month spell as a director and head coach of the Scottish first division club.

Anelka was appointed to the dual role in May, investing around €500,000 in the club, but has been heavily criticised by fans after failing to win a match this season.

Rovers are rooted at the bottom of the standings following one draw and nine defeats from their first 10 league games and face a struggle to avoid relegation.
