Former Leeds winger Kewell was only appointed at Notts County in August.
Harry Kewell has been sacked by League Two side Notts County after just 14 matches in charge since replacing Kevin Nolan in the hotseat in August – and Leeds United fans have mocked their former player.
Kewell, 40, joined Notts County after a year at League Two rivals Crawley Town. But after just three wins in his 14 matches in charge, the ex-Liverpool and Leeds winger has been given his marching orders.
County sit way down the league in 22nd place after Kewell’s sacking, who became the first ever Australian to manage in England following his appointment at Crawley.
Depsite his best efforts, Leeds fans took to Twitter to mock their former player with the Australian hated by Elland Road supporters despite making 252 appearances for the Whites in a seven-year period between 1996 and 2003.
Kewell is despised in Leeds for a string of events. Upon his exit, he lashed out at the club for ostracising him, before making a move to one of the club’s closest Premier League rivals in Liverpool.
But what angered Leeds fans most was Kewell’s decision to leave Liverpool and join Galatasaray in 2008. Leeds have a strong distaste towards the Turkish club, after Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight were stabbed before the 2000 UEFA Cup semi-final between the two sides.
Joining Gala made Kewell an enemy of Leeds, and fans have reacted to his sacking on Twitter by ridiculing him. One fan Tweeted: “There will be a minute’s laughter across Leeds at 3pm in memory of Harry Kewel’s managerial career.”
