Steve McClaren has been sacked as manager of Queens Park Rangers after his side were beaten 2-1 by lowly Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
The 57-year-old joined the club in May last year, but Rangers currently find themselves 17th in the Championship standings. Defeat against Bolton leaves them just eight points ahead of the relegation zone with seven games remaining.
Losing to the struggling Bolton has seen the QPR hierarchy lose patience with McClaren, with a statement from CEO Lee Hoos on the club's official website confirming his departure.
“Making a decision such as this is never easy, particularly when you are talking about someone as professional and dedicated as Steve," Hoos began.
