Derby County have sacked head coach Paul Warne with the Rams in the Championship relegation places and on a seven-match losing run in the league.
Defeat by Sheffield United on Saturday left County 22nd in the table and two points from safety with 16 matches remaining.
They have lost eight successive matches across all competitions dating back to late December, with their sequence of seven Championship losses their worst run in the league for 17 years.
Warne took the Rams' reins in September 2022 and, in his first and only full season in charge at Pride Park, he guided them to promotion from League One last term.
Derby owner David Clowes said "no fan should ever forget his contribution".
"Results in football dictate decisions and we felt that to give us the best chance of retaining our Championship status, the time was right to make a change," Clowes told the club website.
Derby had been brought out of administration by owner Clowes less than three months before Warne was appointed head coach side hastily rebuilt for their first season bac in the third tier for more than three decades with loan signings and free transfers.
