WHAT HAPPENED?
The former Watford striker has been sacked from his duties as player-manager by the bottom side in League Two after he failed to lead them to a single win. The side accumulated only two points throughout Deeney's tenure. The sacking comes just days after his rant towards his player after a loss to Harrogate Town. The 35-year-old's bizarre rant included calling his own players "babies" and telling Fankaty Dabo that he was "not good" in front of his teammates.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
On December 20, Deeney was named Forest Green's manager following the club's dismissal of David Horseman. The striker, who is a UEFA A licenced coach, joined the League Two side from Birmingham City to serve as a player-manager.
