Thomas Christiansen has been sacked by Leeds United, the Championship club have confirmed.
Appointed ahead of the 2017-18 season, Christiansen enjoyed a fine start to life at Elland Road but a seven-match winless run - including a shock FA Cup third-round defeat at fourth-tier Newport County - has prompted the club to dispense with his services.
Leeds are now seeking their 10th full-time managerial appointment in the six years following Simon Grayson's departure in February 2012.
Sunday's announcement came a day after a 4-1 home thrashing at the hands of Cardiff City, managed by one of the men to fill the Elland Road hotseat during that turbulent period, Neil Warnock.
