Friday, 23 February 2018 07:00

The head coach of British Gymnastics has been sacked over accusations of misconduct.

Eddie van Hoof was suspended by the governing body on 29 November 2017 when an investigation into the allegations was launched.

The allegations have not yet been made public.

He was named UK coach of the year in 2016 after British gymnasts won five medals at the Rio Olympics.

British Gymnastics said: "During the process, it became clear that there are irreconcilable differences between Eddie and British Gymnastics regarding the leadership, conduct and culture of elite coaching for our sport.

"The situation had become untenable. We thank Eddie for his contribution to British Gymnastics and wish him every success in the future."
