(Reuters) - Valencia have sacked president Anil Murthy after leaked audio recordings and the Spanish club's initial defence of his actions tarnished their reputation, the LaLiga side said on Monday.

Spanish newspaper Superdeporte had published audio of Murthy speaking at a work dinner where he allegedly described Liverpool and Newcastle as"s***" cities while also threatening to vilify Valencia players in the media if they forced an exit.

"The board of directors of Valencia CF wish to address recent events which have regrettably affected the club's relationship with fans, government authorities and the community," the club said in a statement https://www.valenciacf.com/en/article/en-press-release-2022-05-30. "The board hold the view that a change in leadership is required, in order to regain the trust of the fans and the community... Effective immediately, Anil Murthy will cease to be both President and an employee of Valencia CF."
