Leiga Warsaw have sacked head coach Besnik Hasi three months after he was appointed following a run of poor results.

The Polish champions have claimed just one league win this season, leaving them sitting third-from-bottom in the table after nine games.

In his short tenure, 44-year-old Albanian Hasi, who was appointed in June, led the club into the Champions League group stage, the first time in 20 years a Polish club has made an appearance in Europe's elite club competition.

However, Legia lost 6-0 at home to German side Borussia Dortmund in their opening group game, their biggest loss in Europe, and are facing possible sanctions from UEFA for crowd trouble.

Aleksandar Vukovic, who was previously assistant manager, will temporarily take charge of the first team, while the club searches for Hasi's replacement.
