Wolves have sacked boss Walter Zenga after less than three months in charge.
Wolves have lost four of their last five games, drawing the other, leaving them 18th in the Championship. First team coach Rob Edwards has been put in temporary charge.
The Italian was appointed on 1 August, and he won just four of his 14 matches in charge. Their latest defeat was a 1-0 reverse at home to Leeds United on Saturday.
The club's board sacked his predecessor Kenny Jackett in July.
In a statement the club said: "Wolves have announced that Walter Zenga's contract has been terminated with immediate effect.
"Stefano Cusin, assistant head coach has also left the club. Wolves will be conducting a thorough process to recruit a new Head Coach and won't be revealing any timescales associated with this important task.
"Rob Edwards, first team coach, has been placed in interim charge of the first team, supported by U23s Coach, Scott Sellars.
"The club would like to extend their thanks and best wishes to Walter and Stefano for their contribution to Wolves during the season so far. Wolves will be making no further comment at this stage.
Zenga is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers the game has seen, winning 58 caps for Italy between 1987 and 1992.
But his management career has been less successful. He has had spells in America, Italy, Turkey, Romania, the Middle East and now England.
He had some initial success in Romania and Serbia, winning the domestic titles in both countries, and he guided Catania to mid-table in Serie A. But he was then sacked by Palermo, Saudi Arabian side Al-Nasr and also Sampdoria.
He returned to the Middle East - this time in the UAE - but left there in February after a difficult spell.
