Bradford City have sacked manager Derek Adams after eight months in charge, with the side 11th in League Two.
It follows Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Exeter City, his ninth loss in 31 games.
In a statement the club’s chief executive officer, Ryan Sparks, said: “On behalf of the board, it is with deep regret that we have come to the decision to part company with Derek Adams.
“A sustained period of consideration has led to this decision and it is felt that, with all things taken into account, the club must move in a different direction with regards to the role of first-team manager.
“We would like to thank Derek for his efforts while at Valley Parade, and wish him the very best for the future.”
Assistant manager Mark Trueman will be in charge for this weekend's game against Oldham Athletic.
Fans have taken to social media, many calling on Steve Evans to be appointed the new manager.
