BRUSSELS — Belgian soccer club Club Brugge has fired coach Ronny Deila after less than a season in charge. The former Celtic coach was fired in the wake of Brugge's 2-1 loss to STVV on the final day of the regular season Sunday. Brugge, which has qualified for the league playoffs, says it parted ways with the 48-year-old Deila because of "underwhelming results and a disappointing level of play." Brugge appointed caretaker Nicky Hayen, who was in charge of the club's reserve team, to lead the 18-time Belgian champions while they look for a new coach.
