Stoke City have sacked head coach Narcis Pelach after just three months in charge.
The Potters have taken the decision after Thursday’s 2-0 home loss to Leeds extended their winless run to nine.
Pelach was appointed by the Championship side in September following the sacking of Steven Schumacher.
Stoke picked up just three wins from 19 in that time and are now three points above the relegation zone.
The Club’s Sporting Director Jon Walters said: ‘Narcís is a talented coach with huge potential, he works relentlessly hard and I have no doubt that he will go on to achieve success in the future.
‘However, with the way results and performances have been in recent weeks, we have to accept with hindsight that he has proved not to be the right fit for this club at this time.
‘I take full responsibility for that and I’m absolutely determined that we will now make the right choice to take us forward.
‘Every decision we make is driven by our love of Stoke City and absolute determination to bring success to the Club.’
