Derby have sacked manager Paul Warne after three years in charge.
The Championship club have slipped into the relegation zone after a run of seven straight league defeats.
Warne brought Derby back to the second tier last yearCredit: GettyWarne's dismissal comes ten months after he secured automatic promotion from League One in the 2023/24 season.
It is also just 24 hours before the Rams travel to Norwich in a crucial league match on Saturday.
Owner David Clowes told the club's website: "Paul is a man of great integrity and embodies the values we hold important at Derby County.
"No fan should ever forget his contribution in securing promotion to the Championship. I certainly won't.
"However, results in football dictate decisions and we felt that to give us the best chance of retaining our Championship status, the time was right to make a change."
