He's too busy smashing up the sofa.

His poison?
That sounds about right.

who has he even resigned to? RD not there, KM not there, RM not there...

I'm genuinely surprised, his CV suggests he is a man of tenacity and dogged staying power.

See you in 6 months or so Jose

I wonder who the next fool will be.

"From his poison as Head Coach" according to the club's twitter statement!

Good man, hope he spills the beans.

Freudian Slip from the comms department

See Roland? Even your own man won't work for you.
Lucky for you that lickspittle Meire is free of integrity. You deserve each other.

Oakster

He'll be at St Truiden before long - havent they just sacked their coach (who will probably end up here)...

Riga is not the villain in this catastrophe. I wish him well wherever he goes.

The comms team would not post anything on Twitter like this without SMT permission - this is another calculated move and probably not Riga's decision.

Fair play to him. If he was the puppet people say he is, he would done a 'mutual' parting of the ways and got a pay out. Resigning means he gets nothing. Principled as you would expect from Jose.

Bob Peeters set to be unveiled as Head Coach next week

ForeverAddickted

Least he didnt wait to be sacked... So often Managers will do that now meaning they get compensation...

Riga has done the decent thing wish him well

Has he actually left the network though? It's not impossible that he is still employed by Roland and will end up at another of his clubs

Croydon

Fucking joke. Jumping ship as it gets difficult. Cant even pretend he's done it out of principle as he'll have another job under Roland next season.

Won't be missed.

AmandaHoldensCat

Confirmed. Jose resigned

MountsfieldPark

Which went first, the couch or the coach?

I_was_Floyd

I presume there will be the customary 'extensive search' for his replacement?

Are you suggesting that it was the remains of Jose Riga strewn across the pitch? That's dark

Off_it

Done the right thing in the end, fair play.

Let's not forget that this is the guy that Jose Mourinho brought in as a special adviser.

Even if the special one himself did forget!!!

The new Alex Ferguson is on his way....

Why? He must have realised when he took over that relegation was a real possibility, so no surprise we have done so. If it is for other reasons have the balls to come out and say so. I have no doubt he will work for Roly again so wont. May be a nice bloke but still a regime puppet.

He was probably nothing more than Mourinho's personal shopper for a few weeks
