Former Hibs boss Lee Johnson sacked for the second time this season

The 42-year-old replaced a former Hibs star in Scott Brown - but he's lasted just a matter of months in the hotseat

AXED HIBS BOSS Lee Johnson has been sacked for the SECOND time this season - after just 111 days at Fleetwood.

The 42-year-old replaced Scott Brown at the League One club less than a month after he left Easter Road in August following a poor start to the season.

But Johnson went on to win just six of his 22 matches in charge with the club currently second bottom of the table.

That led to a parting of the ways yesterday lunchtime with assistant Darren Way and First Team Coach Phil Jevons also dismissed.

And Fleetwood will now begin the search for their third boss of the campaign.

A statement said: "Fleetwood Town can confirm Lee Johnson has left the club with immediate effect.

“The Club will issue a further update on the first team staff in due course."
