Walter Zenga is the 5th English Championship boss to lose his job this month. Fish in barrels survive longer than managers in that league

Throwback to when Walter Zenga stated:

''Wolves are the biggest team for us in Italy… this club was all the time in our minds." pic.twitter.com/dybxvncenh
So Zenga's been sacked. Expect an unknown manager from the Portuguese 2nd division to replace him within the next 24 hours...#wwfc #zenga
