Marti Cifuentes has been sacked as Leicester City boss after just six months in charge with the Foxes in the bottom half of the Championship table.
The 43-year-old's final match as manager was Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by lowly Oxford – Leicester’s 11th loss in 29 league games under the Spaniard.
Cifuentes took over in July with the aim of restoring the Foxes to the Premier League after their second relegation from the top flight in three years last season but has been sacked with them sitting 14th, six points short of the play-off places.
"This has been a difficult decision and not one I have taken lightly," Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said in a statement.
"I would like to thank Martí for the total commitment he has shown during his time at Leicester City. He gave everything to the role and worked tirelessly to help us achieve our targets."
