Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough has been sacked by the Irish FA.
The decision was taken at an executive board meeting in Belfast on Thursday evening.
NI have won just four of their 22 competitive fixtures under Baraclough, who replaced Michael O'Neill at the helm 28 months ago.
He departs after his side avoided relegation to the fourth tier of the Nations League despite losing to Greece at the end of September.
"Under Ian's stewardship we have seen the introduction of new players who will wear the green jersey with pride for years to come and for this we place on record our gratitude," said IFA chief executive Patrick Nelson.
"However, in light of the overall record of results on the pitch, the Irish FA board has subsequently taken this decision."
The search for a new manager begins with NI not in competitive action again until March.
