Ipswich Town has said it'll take as long as it needs to find a replacement for Paul Lambert, who left the club last night.
Assistant Manager, Stuart Taylor, has also parted ways with the team.
The club says the decision was by 'mutual consent'.
The former Scotland international has been in charge at the Club since October 2018.
Assistant manager, Stuart Taylor, has also left Portman Road.
Ipswich Town owner, Marcus Evans, has said: “I would like to put on record my sincere thanks to Paul and Stuart for their services to Ipswich Town over the last two and a half years.”
"I have enjoyed a healthy working relationship with Paul in our time together and he has brought a lot of positive aspects to the Club.
“It has, however, become clear after holding discussions over the last few days that there are significant differences of opinion as to the order of immediate priorities and we agreed it was best for us to part company. I would like to wish both Paul and Stuart the best in the future."
Paul Lambert's last game in charge was the Blues' 2-1 win over Doncaster on Saturday.
The League One side are currently eighth in the table.
It's been confirmed Matt Gill will look after the team for tomorrow night's game against Accrington Stanley.
The first-team coach will be assisted by Bryan Klug and the usual first-team staff around that.
Paul Cook is one of a number of names said to be interested in the vacant role.
Town's General Manager of football operations, Lee O'Neill, says: "Marcus Evans, owner is working on it now but will take as long as is needed.
"He'll be speaking to people about the role and in the interim period we are confident that Matt Gill can do what is needed on a game-by-game basis.
"Our goalposts haven't changed, though, and we want to get the results that can get us promoted this season.
"We feel with a new manager and some momentum we can push on for the remaininder of the campaign."
