Steve McClaren has been sacked by Championship side Derby County.
The former England manager's contract has been terminated with immediate effect after the club's review of the 2014/2015 season.
The Rams topped the table at one stage of the campaign, but ultimately transpired to finish outside the play-off places after a dire final few months.
It completes a miserable year for McClaren, who oversaw his Derby side get to the Championship play-off final last season and lose to a last minute QPR goal.
A club statement read:
Derby County have terminated the contract of Head Coach Steve McClaren with immediate effect.
The decision follows a thorough review of the 2014/15 season by the club’s Board of Directors.
The Board believes that the appointment of a new Head Coach is required to continue the club’s on-field progress and the search is now underway to appoint a successor.
The Board remains firmly committed and driven to achieving promotion to the Premier League.
The club would also like to take this opportunity to wish Steve McClaren well for the future and thank him for his work throughout his tenure, which included a Play-Off Final appearance in 2014.
