St Johnstone have sacked manager Callum Davidson following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Livingston that leaves them five points off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership.
The Perth club were in the top six before the World Cup break, after going five matches unbeaten. However, since the season resumed they have won just three league games and find themselves sucked into a relegation battle.
Following Saturday's defeat at Livingston, St Johnstone are winless in their last six games, having not won a league game since February 18, leaving them ninth in the table with one match to go ahead of the league split.
Davidson - who had two spells at the club as a player before being named caretaker in 2014 - took over in 2020 and won the League Cup and Scottish Cup double in his first season as manager. At the time of his departure, he was the Premiership's longest-serving manager at two years and 10 months.
Last season, however, the club narrowly avoided relegation via the play-offs, beating Championship side Inverness Caledonian Thistle to retain their Premiership status.
