English Premier League side, Swansea City, have relieved Gary Monk of his position as coach of the club.
The Welsh club decided to sack the coach after just one win in 11 attempts.
Monk, 36, had been with the club for over 11 years, first as a defender and then manager since February 2014, when he replaced Michael Laudrup.
Saturday’s 3-0 home defeat by Leicester City was his last game in charge, and left them 15th in the table.
“The decision has been made very reluctantly and with a heavy heart,” Swansea chairman, Huw Jenkins, told the club’s official website
“To find ourselves in our current situation from where we were in the first week of September, and considering the drop of performance levels and run of results over the last three months, it has brought us to this unfortunate decision today.
“Garry took on the job 22 months ago with the backing of everyone at the club. And when you take into account the excellent campaign we had last season when we broke all club records in the Premier League, nobody foresaw the position we would be in at this moment in time.
“Bearing that in mind and the current uncertainty around the club, we felt the situation needed clarity to move forward.
“It was not a decision we took lightly, especially given Garry’s history and standing within the club. And it goes without saying that we wish Garry all the very best for the future and thank him for his tremendous service, not only as a player over the last decade, but also as our manager. He will always have a warm welcome at this football club.
“We hope to appoint a replacement as soon as possible.”
Former Liverpool manager and Liberty Stadium favourite, Brendan Rodgers, is being touted to replace Monk.
