SunSport reports The Bantams are yet to win a league game since Tuesday, November 3, leaving the club with no choice but to show McCall the door.

Speaking on the manager's sacking, Bradford CEO Ryan Sparks took time to thank Stuart for his time at the club. Sparks was quoted saying:

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank Stuart and Kenny for their efforts over the past 10 months.
“This decision was not taken lightly, and we have done everything in our power to support them during their time at the club."

On his part, Stuart admitted he felt disappointed with the dismissal, wishing the Yorkshire outfit "the very best for the future"

This was McCall's fourth stint at the club, with the spells coming both as a coach and player.

He first took charge of the club as caretaker boss in 2000 before he returned between 2007-10 after his retirement.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how French professional football giants, Nice, are interested in the signing of Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori on loan from Stamford Bridge when the January transfer window opens.

Fikayo Tomori has not been enjoying active playing time this season at Chelsea under Frank Lampard and Nice want to explore the chance to sign him next year.

He has featured in just one top-flight match this term with Frank Lampard preferring a pairing of Kurt Zouma and Thiago Silva.

The 22-year-old has been involved in just three fixtures this campaign with his last outing coming in the Carabao Cup defeat against Jose Mourinho's Tottenham.

But despite not having regular games at Chelsea, many Premier League sides are still interested in having the signature of Fikayo Tomori.

Nice have been struggling to cope with the absence of strong defender Dante who sustained a knee injury and they see Fikayo Tomori as a good replacement.
