Barnsley FC have sacked Head Coach Darrell Clarke, after less than a year in charge of the League One side.
It follows back to back defeats against Charlton and Blackpool, leaving The Reds 8 points adrift of the play off places.
Clarke was appointed in May last year and has been at the helm for 44 games.
Conor Hourihane will take charge until the end of the season, assisted by Jon Stead, Martin Devaney and Tom Harban.
Barnsley FC Chairman, Neerav Parekh said, “We would like to thank Darrell for his efforts in a season which has been difficult for various reasons."
"Darrell has worked extremely hard to try and get the team competitive and pushing for promotion, unfortunately, we find ourselves eight points away from the play-offs and feel that a change is needed.”
