BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian champions Anderlecht fired their Swiss coach Rene Weiler on Monday after their poor start to the new season continued at the weekend.

Weiler's sacking was announced two days after supporters had protested outside the stadium demanding his removal following the side's 2-2 draw at lowly Kortrijk on Saturday.
