Shaun Maloney has been sacked by Hibernian after less than four months in charge.
The former Scotland international was only appointed first team manager in December but has already been relieved of his duties.
Maloney failed to guide the Easter Road side into the top six of the Premiership and they were knocked out of the Scottish Cup semi-finals by Hearts on Saturday.
Gary Caldwell, Valerio Zuddas and Brian Doogan have also left the club.
Hibs have confirmed David Gray will take charge of the club for the remainder of the season with help from Eddie May and John Busch.
A club statement read: "Hibernian FC can confirm that Shaun Maloney has departed the club as First Team Manager.
"Gary Caldwell, Valerio Zuddas and Brian Doogan have also left with immediate effect."
"David Gray will take charge of the First Team as Caretaker Manager for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign and will be supported by Eddie May and Jon Busch."
Executive chairman Ron Gordon said: “Our hope in appointing Shaun Maloney as a young, highly regarded coach was that he would help us take the club forward, but ultimately that has not been the case.
“We thank Shaun and his coaching staff for all their hard work and efforts and wish them all the best for the future.”
