ROBBIE FOWLER has been sacked as Al-Qadsiah boss despite an unbeaten start to the season.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool legend took the job tasked with promotion to the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Al-Qadsiah finished 11th out of 18 teams last season, 23 points behind the promotion places.<\/p>\n
But Fowler guided them to six wins and two draws in their first eight games this term, leaving them second in the table.<\/p>\n
His only defeat as manager came against Al-Taawoun in the King Cup.<\/p>\n
