LONDON: Steve Kean quit as Blackburn Rovers manager yesterday, saying he’d been “forced to resign” with immediate effect due to his position becoming “untenable”, in a statement issued through his lawyers.
The Scot had faced constant criticism from Rovers fans throughout his two-year spell in charge at Ewood Park.
Kean, however, soldiered on despite the club’s relegation from the English Premier League last season.
Yet despite Rovers currently lying a promising third in the second division Championship, Kean walked out yesterday. AFP
