Brentford sack Marinus Dijkhuizen and appoint Lee Carsley
Brentford have sacked head coach Marinus Dijkhuizen after nine matches and placed Lee Carsley in charge until the end of the season.
Dijkhuizen's assistant, Roy Hendriksen, has also left the Championship club.
Brentford won only two of their eight league games under the Dutchman, 43, and are 19th in the table.
Former Blackburn, Coventry and Everton midfielder Carsley, 41, had been working as manager of Brentford's development squad.
Dijkhuizen was appointed head coach by Brentford in June, following the controversial departure of previous boss Mark Warburton.
It was confirmed in February that Warburton, who went on to lead the Bees into last season's play-offs, would leave the club at the end of the campaign.
Warburton had guided Brentford to promotion from League One the previous season.
A former striker, Dijkhuizen had previously been manager at Excelsior in the Netherlands, where his side finished 15th in the Dutch Eredivisie.

All that hard work over the last few seasons wasted for a 9 game experiment... madness.
