McClaren leaves FC Twente

Former England manager Steve McClaren has parted company with Dutch club FC Twente amid growing unrest over their season.

The split comes after Saturday’s 2-1 league defeat at Heerenveen left Twente, who won the title under McClaren in 2010, in fifth place in the Eredivisie.

McClaren held talks with president Joop Munsterman over the weekend, but the manager failed to receive the assurances for which he had hoped.
