Berg signed a three-year contract on October 31 but he guided Blackburn to just one victory in his 10 matches at the helm and Wednesday&rsquo;s 1-0 loss at Middlesbrough was the team&rsquo;s fifth defeat in six matches in England&rsquo;s second tier. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Henning-Berg.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 682px;" /> Henning Berg &ldquo;Blackburn Rovers FC has announced the departure of manager Henning Berg, assistant manager Eric Black, first team coach Iain Brunskill and goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms with immediate effect,&rdquo; read a statement on the Blackburn website. &ldquo;This decision has been taken following a very disappointing sequence of results. The club thanks the four men for their efforts and wishes them every success for the future.&rdquo; As a player, Berg played an important role in Blackburn&rsquo;s 1995 Premier League title success, but the club&rsquo;s owners, Indian poultry firm Venky&rsquo;s, were not prepared to show him patience. Venky&rsquo;s director Balaji Rao was quoted in an Indian newspaper yesterday as saying: &ldquo;We have not been doing well and dropping points and losing matches quite often. I want to go up (to the Premier League).&rdquo;

Norwegian manager Henning Berg has been sacked as coach of Blackburn Rovers after only 57 days in the job, the Indian-owned English Championship club announced yesterday.
