The championship club, which last week saw a 12-point halving, is 23rd in the table with six points from the first 11 matches
Monk’s last game was Saturday’s goalless draw with Millwall, as the former Middlesbrough coach, Leeds, Swansea and Birmingham received his marching orders after three wins, three draws and five defeats in the opening matches.
In the end, he paid for a poor home record, having scored on Wednesday just two wins in his last 19 games in Hillsborough.
Thus, Monk and several members of his coaching staff saw duly terminating their contracts.
Chairman Dejphon Chansiri said: “I feel the time is right to make a change and I wish my neighbor and his team all the best for the future.
“I’d like to thank you for the time and effort that my neighbor and his crew took on Sheffield Wednesday”
Monk joined Owls in September 2019, assuming responsibility after Steve Bruce’s departure to Newcastle United
El-Chansiri’s decision comes just four days after he held a remarkable press conference that lasted more than three hours, during which he was questioned about Monk’s recent record and given him confidence
“I always tell the media and all the fans that it’s easy to make a decision without responsibility. It’s easy to say,“ Not good, kiss! ”
“Some managers went to other clubs and did not succeed. It is easy to dismiss the coach, but sometimes it is not 100% the manager’s fault.
“For me, on the field, this is the players’ fault on the field. The manager cannot do anything ”
Ideas will now go to the person likely to succeed Monk, and Danny Cowley and Paul Cook are likely among the favorites.
Both are currently unemployed and looking to return to management after leaving Huddersfield and Wigan in succession
Nigel Pearson is another possible option, as he spoke over the weekend that he would like to come back in the game as well.
