Paul Clement has been dismissed by Belgian Pro League strugglers Cercle Brugge.
The former Derby, Swansea and Reading boss had been appointed on a three-year contract in July last year.
However, Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Sint-Truiden left his side with just one win in 13 matches and second from bottom of the table.
Clement has not enjoyed the same success as a No 1 as he had as assistant to Carlo Ancelotti.
The Englishman worked under Ancelotti at Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich before deciding to go it alone at Derby in 2015.
