A FORMER Premier League manager has been brutally sacked for the THIRD TIME in ten months.
Ruben Selles has been given his marching orders by struggling Spanish second division side Real Zaragoza after less than FIVE MONTHS in charge.
The 42-year-old took charge of Los Blanquillos last October, replacing Emilio Larraz.
But he’s been handed his P45 after winning just FIVE of his 21 games in charge.
Zaragoza announced Selles’ departure in a 53-word statement on their official website and social media channels.
It read: “Real Zaragoza announces the termination of its contractual relationship with sporting director Txema Indias and coach Ruben Selles.
“The club thanks Txema Indias and Ruben Selles for their professionalism, dedication, and hard work during their time with the club and wishes them the best of luck in their future endeavors.”
Selles’ Zaragoza dismissal, which came with the club rock bottom of the Segunda Division, was his third in 291 DAYS.
He was given the boot by Hull City last May after losing 11 of his 28 games in charge of the Tigers.
And he was axed by Sheffield United last September after a three-month stint in charge of The Blades, in which he failed to win a SINGLE game.

Former Southampton manager Selles has yet to issue a statement on his latest sacking.
Zaragoza will be back in action on Friday, travelling to Andalusia to take on Cadiz.
David Navarro will once again take interim charge of the team until a successor for Selles has been appointed.
