Last updated 9th Feb 2024
Blackburn head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson and assistant Remy Reijnierse have left the club by mutual consent.
Rovers have slipped to 18th in the Sky Bet Championship and within five points of the relegation zone after failing to win any of their last eight league matches.
A statement on the club's official website said: "Jon Dahl Tomasson has today left his position as Blackburn Rovers' head coach by mutual consent.
"Tomasson arrived at Ewood Park on a three-year contract in June 2022 and brought an attacking brand of football that saw us go close to a play-off spot last season, whilst also progressing to the latter stages of both domestic cup competitions.
"However, it has been mutually agreed that the Dane will step away from his role, along with assistant coach Remy Reijnierse, with immediate effect."
Former Denmark, Newcastle and AC Milan forward Tomasson was appointed following the departure of Tony Mowbray.
The 47-year-old had won back-to-back league titles with Swedish club Malmo and guided Rovers to a seventh-placed finish last season when they missed out on a play-off place on goal difference.
Rovers added: "The search for a successor is now under way and the club will provide no further comment until an appointment is announced." Hear all the latest news from across Lancashire on the hour, every hour, on 97.4FM, DAB, at rockfm.co.uk, and on the Rock FM app.
