Manchester City have sacked head coach Gareth Taylor just five days before the Women's League Cup final.
The 52-year-old succeeded Nick Cushing in May 2020 and led City to two major honours - but Cushing has now returned as interim boss.
City missed out on last season's Women's Super League title on goal difference and are currently fourth, 12 points adrift of defending champions Chelsea.
Taylor won his final game in charge on Sunday, as City beat Aston Villa 2-0 to reach the Women's FA Cup semi-finals.
"Manchester City prides itself on competing at the top of the WSL and on its outstanding record of qualifying for European competition," said managing director Charlotte O'Neill.
"Unfortunately, results this season have so far not reached this high standard."
City have lost four of their 16 league games and are one point outside the qualification places for the Women's Champions League, with Arsenal having a game in hand.
Cushing will be in charge for the remainder of the season, with City facing Chelsea in the League Cup final on Saturday (12:15 GMT kick-off).
