ANTONIO Pierce is the latest NFL head coach to lose his job after being sacked by the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders finished bottom of the AFC West with a disappointing 4-13 record this term.

Former Pro Bowl linebacker Pierce took over as interim head coach in 2023 before taking permanent charge of the franchise for the 2024 campaign.

Pierce’s dismissal follows those of Doug Pederson and Jerod Mayo, who were sacked by the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New England Patriots after the conclusion of the regular season.

“Antonio grew up a Raiders fan and his Silver and Black roots run deep,” the team said.

“We are grateful for his ability to reignite what it means to be a Raider throughout the entire organization.” – BBCSport
