Nottingham Forest have sacked manager Colin Calderwood.
Forest, who have also parted company with coach David Kerslake, made the announcement following the 4-2 Boxing Day home defeat by Doncaster Rovers.
Forest have won just four times since winning promotion to League One in May and are still in the bottom three.
"We're grateful to Colin for his efforts over the last two-and-a-half years but we're in a results business," said chief executive Mark Arthur.
"It's imperative that the club stays in the Championship and we need to give ourselves every opportunity to do that."
Forest are currently one point adrift of safety in the Championship, in 22nd place.
Calderwood was appointed as Forest boss in the summer of 2006 after winning promotion from League Two with Northampton the previous season.
