Valencia have sacked president Anil Murthy after leaked audio recordings and the Spanish club's initial defence of his actions tarnished their reputation, the LaLiga side said on Monday.
Spanish newspaper Superdeporte had published audio of Murthy speaking at a work dinner where he allegedly described Liverpool and Newcastle as 's***' cities while also threatening to vilify Valencia players in the media if they forced an exit.
The club had initially released a statement earlier this month which said Superdeporte had looked to 'distort reality' while Murthy described it as a smear campaign.
