Motherwell have parted company with manager Ian Baraclough following Tuesday's defeat at Morton.
Baraclough succeeded Stuart McCall at Fir Park in December and oversaw a play-off victory over Rangers in May to preserve the club's Premiership status.
But Motherwell have won just twice this season, and there was trouble among the travelling supporters during the League Cup tie at Championship Morton.
A club statement read: "Motherwell Football Club has parted company with manager Ian Baraclough.
"The board of directors would like to sincerely thank Ian for his great efforts last season and keeping the club in the SPFL Premiership for this very important season in the club history, with the 130th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of the 1991 Scottish Cup celebrated at the end of the season.
"The board will immediately commence the search for a new manager."
Former 'Well player Stephen Craigan, currently U20 boss, will take temporary charge alongside Stephen Robinson and Jim Hollman.
