Legoland FC have sacked Marco Van Basten after the team's 1-0 win over Greentown Athletic was met by jeers from the Partizan crowd. A goal by Raúl in the 16th minute was not enough to save Van Basten's managerial career and the minifig seemed to known it before the final whistle blew. The fact that LFC won and yet terminated their manager's contract, has led some credence to reports earlier in the week that the Blues had already lined up his successor.

Speaking after confirmation of his dismissal, Van Basten hit out angrily at the LFC hierarchy and in particular club president Gheorghe Hagi. "I don't know why Hagi appointed me 5 weeks ago if he just wanted me to slip up. I didn't lose a single league game in charge and I led the team to second place. What more can be asked of me in such a short period of time? I'll tell you this, I will never ever manage in Legoland again". Full Story
