Preston North End has sacked manager Paul Heckingbottom. The club made the decision public on Sunday. Preston finds itself in the relegation zone of the Championship after losing six of its first seven games this campaign. Heckingbottom was appointed at Preston last year. He had previously managed Sheffield United. The club will be led by a Premier League cult hero in the interim role. The decision stems from a rough opening to the season.
