LEAGUE Two strugglers Barrow have tonight dismissed Dino Maamria after just 28 days in charge.

The former Burton Albion and Oldham Athletic boss took over at Holker Street on February 11 but has managed only one win from his six games in the hot seat, beating Colchester United 1-0 in his first game in charge.

Barrow are currently only outside the League Two relegation zone on goal difference, with 11 matches to go.

In a statement, the club said: ‘Barrow AFC can confirm Dino Maamria has left the club today. We would like to thank Dino for his efforts and wish him well for the future.

‘Sam Foley, supported by Simon Ireland and David Worrall, will take the team until the end of the season.

‘We recognise that this has been a very disappointing season with far too much managerial change.

‘As the Board of Directors, we understand that the buck stops with us. We believe this change gives us the best chance of remaining in the football league.

‘The Q&A event in the Cross Bar will go ahead as planned on Friday evening and members of the Board will be there to answer questions directly.’
