Sweden's Mellberg fired as coach of MLS St. Louis City
The move, revealed late Tuesday night, came after City had started the MLS campaign with two wins and five drawn in 15 matches, leaving the club on 11 points and 14th in the Western Conference. St. Louis have netted only 11 goals so far this season, third-worst in the league. Mellberg, 47, was hired last November after leaving Swedish side IF Brommapojkarna. His playing career as a defender included stops at Aston Villa, Juventus and Villareal. "The decision to part ways with Olof goes beyond just results," said St. Louis City sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel. "We've analyzed the team's performance across a number of factors, including the need to execute against a style of play that led to the team's initial success and has been part of our DNA for four years. "We have certain standards we need to meet and believe a coaching change was necessary to improve our overall performance and return to a winning culture. Our fans deserve a better performing team and we intend to give them one." Critchley, from England, guided the top City development club to six wins and a draw in 11 starts this year with 20 goals.

Jensen eager to build on impressive start
Alexander Jensen says he is still adjusting to the intensity of Scottish football and has plenty of room for improvement despite an impressive start to his Aberdeen Danish full-back, 23, has edged Scotland cap Nicky Devlin on to the bench and started the Dons' past six games after arriving from Swedish side IF Brommapojkarna on a four-year deal in January."I think everyone around the team has been making it very easy for me to settle here and have helped me a lot," said Jensen."It is very different to Swedish football, more intense and duels, I still have to get used to that. I think there are still a lot of things I can improve and the team can improve as well."Jensen has been key to the Dons' recent upturn in fortunes, with three successive wins in all competitions before Tuesday night's trip to face Celtic."First of all it was to play at Pittodrie which I enjoy so much, crazy fans and crazy atmosphere there, but of course it is a great game and a big game so I am looking forward to that as well," he added. "Every day I feel it is coming as a team and it is coming how we want to play. Everybody is on the same pattern so it is coming on and off the pitch."
