Robbie spent only 4 months in charge of the Saudi Arabian side.

Saudi Arabian 2nd tier team Al Qadsiah dismissed head coach Robbie Fowler today, just 4 months after appointing the ex-Liverpool forward.

Robbie, who is the 8th highest goalscorer in the history of the EPL and played 26 matches for England, became Al Qadsiah’s manager in June.

Al Qadsiah are in the 2nd place in the Saudi First Division League and are only 1 point behind leader Al Orobah after 8 games.

“The side appreciates the coach’s work and professionalism during his time with our team and wishes him all the best in his future managerial career,” Al Qadsiah posted about the sacking.

The Saudi Arabian club triumphed in 6 and drew in 2 of their opening 8 matches under the English head coach.

Ex-Seville and Marseille head coach Michel Gonzalez will replace Fowler. Robbie coached Thai side Muangthong United, Australia’s Brisbane Roar, and Indian side East Bengal before being appointed in Saudi Arabia.
