Easter Road outfit axe boss after Dunfermline defeat
Hibernian have sacked manager Colin Calderwood after just 12 months in charge at Easter Road.
Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Dunfermline left Hibs a point off the bottom of the table and sparked from angry reactions from some home supporters.
After the game some fans protested outside Easter Road calling for Calderwood and chairman Rod Petrie to leave the Edinburgh outfit.
A club statement read: "Hibernian FC announced today that the Board of Directors had relieved Colin Calderwood of his duties as manager of the club."
Chairman Rod Petrie said: "I would like to thank Colin for his time as manager. The Board decided that it was in the club's best interests to find a new manager to take Hibernian forward."
Calderwood was linked with moves to Nottingham Forest and Birmingham in the summer, but he decided to stay on at Easter Road.
Calderwood, who took over from John Hughes last October, won just 12 of his 49 matches in charge of Hibs.
Hibs will now begin their search for a new manager as they look to bring in a new man before the home clash with Kilmarnock on 19th November.
