Asher-Smith calls for Maguire answers after 'snap decision'

The news comes less than two months after Maguire oversaw a very successful World Championships in Budapest, with the British team equalling their best ever medal haul of 10.

Having been overlooked for the head coach role in 2020, Maguire quit the organisation but he was tempted back last summer in the newly-created role.

UK Athletics did not give a reason for Maguire’s departure, saying in a short statement: “UK Athletics have announced that Stephen Maguire will leave his role as technical director with immediate effect.

“An interim head coach will be announced in due course, until then no further comment will be made.”
