Rotherham United have sacked manager Matt Hamshaw after their 5-0 hammering by Peterborough United left them six points adrift of League One safety.
The 44-year-old, a coach under former Millers boss Paul Warne, initially took over as caretaker following the sacking of Steve Evans in 2025, and was appointed on a permanent basis in April last year.
He departs with the club 22nd in League One with nine games of the season remaining.
The club said, external it was "with a heavy heart that we end our affiliation with an individual who has strong historical connections and a clear passion for Rotherham United", and that Dale Tonge, Richard Wood and Andy Warrington would oversee first-team matters on an interim basis.
Tuesday's defeat came in addition to Wigan avoiding defeat with a draw against outside play-off contenders Barnsley, while Blackpool won against bottom side Port Vale to boost their own survival credentials.
Hamshaw's exit comes amid a poor run of form for the Millers, having won just once in their past nine games.
It is another managerial change for Rotherham, who are now looking for their fifth permanent manager since Paul Warne departed in 2022.
