League two side Stevenage have dismissed manager Darren Sarll.
It ends a two-year spell in charge following Sarrl's arrival at the club when he replaced the sacked Teddy Sheringham in February 2016.
The decision follows Saturday's disappointing 2-2 draw at Port Vale when Stevenage threw away a two-goal lead to leave them 16th in the table.
Chairman Phil Wallace said: "Darren has given his all for us but our poor league form and points-per-game ratio of less than 1 since October is not something we can allow to continue.
"We haven't seen the progress expected since we strengthened the squad in January so it is time to move on.
"However, we owe Darren a lot. He stepped into the managerial role with no previous experience and has worked tirelessly to turn young Academy players like Ben Wilmot, Mark McKee, Ben Kennedy and Dale Gorman into talented professionals, as well as managing our senior players.
"But eventually results will dictate the future and it is time for a change in management and a change in our approach to games."
Sarll will step down from the position immediately, along with managerial adviser Glenn Roeder, and the club will begin the process of recruiting a new manager on Monday.
Coach Nicky Shorey and long-standing captain Ronnie Henry will take training from Monday morning.
