Scunthorpe United have sacked their manager Paul Hurst.
The club are 16th in Sky Bet League Two with eight wins from 30 games and have taken only two points since beating Oldham 2-0 on New Year's Day.
Hurst's last game in charge was a 3-0 defeat to Northampton on Tuesday night.
In a statement on Wednesday, the club said: "Scunthorpe United would like to announce that manager Paul Hurst and assistant manager Chris Doig have left their positions at the club with immediate effect.
"We thank them for their efforts during their time at the club and wish them well for the future.
"The club will make no further comment at this stage."
Hurst, 45, who was previously in charge at Ipswich, only took over as manager at Scunthorpe in May last year.
He becomes the second League Two boss to be dismissed on Wednesday after Colin Calderwood was sacked as Cambridge United head coach following their 4-0 home defeat to Salford City.
