Daniel Stendel has left Barnsley with immediate effect following their awful start to the Championship campaign.
Sky Sports News reported on Monday that Stendel would not be in charge of the club for their next match against Swansea on October 19.
Barnsley announced the news of Stendel's departure in a succinct 21-word statement on Tuesday morning and said Adam Murray, the U18s coach, would be put in caretaker charge.
The statement read: "Barnsley Football Club confirms that it has separated from Daniel Stendel with immediate effect. Adam Murray has been appointed caretaker manager."
The Oakwell club are without a win in their last 11 matches and Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Preston North End has left them two points adrift of safety in the Sky Bet Championship.
Stendel joined Barnsley in June 2018 and guided the club to an immediate return to the Championship at the end of his first season.
However, the Tykes have struggled this season and have won just once in the league - a 1-0 win over Fulham on the opening day.
