Head coach Luke Williams has left Swansea City after a run of seven defeats in the club's past nine Championship matches.
Williams departs after 13 months in charge with Swansea 17th in the second tier, eight points clear of the bottom three with 13 fixtures remaining this season.
Swansea have suffered an alarming slump in form since the turn of the year, with Saturday's 3-1 defeat at struggling Stoke City proving to be his last game in charge.
Swansea were only four points outside the play-off places in ninth after post-Christmas wins over Queens Park Rangers and Luton Town.
But they have since taken only four points from a possible 27, while they were also well beaten by Southampton in the FA Cup third round.
As well as the string of poor results, Swansea endured a miserable January transfer window, with the club missing out on numerous targets, but sanctioning the sale of Matt Grimes – their captain and most influential player – to Coventry City.
Grimes' departure was a heavy blow to Williams, whose squad already had a number of deficiencies which have not been addressed.
Nevertheless, the former Notts County boss, 43, faced heavy social media criticism from Swansea fans during what proved to be the closing stages of his reign.
Williams' relationship with some supporters took a dent amid speculation linking him with West Bromwich Albion
