Everton have confirmed the departure of manager Roberto Martinez.
Martinez, who took charge in 2013 following David Moyes' exit, has been under heavy pressure for several weeks after a disappointing run of form and leaves the club 12th in the Premier League.
Everton have won just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions and Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Sunderland was their third straight away from home, conceding 10 goals in the process.
Everton Football Club regrets to announce that Roberto Martinez has left his position as First Team Manager with immediate effect.
