Virginia Tech has parted ways with coach Justin Fuente, the school announced Tuesday.
Fuente's departure comes as the Hokies are 5–5 on the season, having most recently defeated Duke 48–17 on Saturday.
Director of athletics Whit Babcock said in a statement that, "While it is never easy to make a change, I believe in order for our football program to attain the type of sustained success that is expected at Virginia Tech, the time was right for new leadership of our football program."
Fuente has been with the school since 2016, amassing a 43–41 record throughout his tenure.
