Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has been sacked after a string of bad results.
The Dutchman, 54, was informed on Monday morning after two and a half years in charge. The team lost 2-1 away at the weekend against West Ham.
A statement from the club said: “We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future”.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, the former Dutch striker who was assistant manager, will take charge of the team as interim head coach while a permanent head coach is recruited.
Ten Hag survived a summer review by the club’s hierarchy after an FA Cup final victory over rivals Manchester City in May.
It came despite United ending last season in eighth place – their lowest-ever Premier League finish – and crashing out of the Champions League before Christmas.
A series of bad results, including 3-0 home defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, seriously dented the side’s start to the Premier League season this year.
Ten Hag is United’s fifth manager in the 11 years since club legend Sir Alex Ferguson retired, and the team has not won the Premier League in that time.
