ATHENS (Reuters) - Paulo Bento has been sacked as coach by Greece's Olympiakos after a string of poor results, the Super League club announced on Monday.

The 47-year-old Portuguese coach had come under pressure since Sunday’s 2-0 loss to PAOK Salonika. That gave it three straight league defeats for the first time in 21 years.
