Mark Hughes has been sacked as Bradford manager after just 19 months in charge.
The hiring of the former Wales, Blackburn, Manchester City, Fulham, QPR, Stoke and Southampton boss in February last year was widely viewed as a major coup for the League Two Bantams.
In his first club managerial role outside the Premier League, the ex-Manchester United forward preserved Bradford's Football League status in 2021-22 before leading them into the play-offs last season.
However, their hopes of promotion were dashed after a semi-final defeat to Carlisle and they have made a stuttering start to this campaign with just three wins in 11 matches, placing them 18th in the table.
