League Two side Swindon Town have sacked head coach Jody Morris after only 18 games in charge.
The 44-year-old was appointed at the end of January following Scott Lindsey's departure to Crawley Town.
The Robins were sixth in the table at the time, but only won four matches under him and are now 10th.
It was former midfielder Morris' first managerial role, having previously been Frank Lampard's number two at Derby County and Chelsea.
His final game in charge was Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Crewe and his assistant Ed Brand, who only joined in March, has also left the County Ground.
"Our aim when they took over was to push on and finish the second half of the season strongly, but as a club, we haven't achieved our objectives," a club statement said.
"With just one more league game remaining before we reach the conclusion of the season, we feel now is the right time to take a fresh approach as we look to bring success back to this great club for 2023-24."
Swindon reached the play-offs last season before losing to Port Vale over two legs, but are now 17 points outside the top seven ahead of their final game of the season, against Lindsey's Crawley.
Steve Mildenhall and Gavin Gunning will be in interim charge for that fixture on 8 May.

DC must be on their radar!!! I imagine he will be at or near the top of their list. Unless they want to bring Powerpoint Ben back? |

Ah yeah forgot about that. Be interesting to see how he does with them next season. He has won three in ten this season, but also only lost two. |

Not Gas related but seems Big Sam going to Leeds.They don't keep managers there for very long and have a habit of knee Jerk appointments.Think they were after DC once.

When Mildy was with us, i was hoping he would go on and become a coach and then, maybe, manager. Articulate, intelligent and an all round good guy. I wish him the very best, just wish it was nit with Swindle

DC must be on their radar!!! Must be a possibility. Seem a reasonable fit, I'm sure Mildy would put a good word in if it meant him staying in a decent coaching role. |

I don’t think DC is daft enough Where so you think he will go next? I have no idea but I really hope that, should he decide to quickly go back, that it is with a club that can back him and not back stab him. He showed his integrity by allegedly turning down an offer by Leeds. |
