Livingston management team John Collins and Gareth Evans have both left the club following a disagreement with the board.
The club announced that director of football Collins had quit after the board sacked Evans, who replaced John Hughes as manager in November when the former Hibernian boss left for Hartlepool.
The pair leave Livingston fourth in the Irn-Bru First Division.
A club statement read: "Livingston Football Club announces the departure of first team manager Gareth Evans following a managers' meeting today, where we voiced our concern over the stewardship of the club under Gareth. This despite the results being generally acceptable.
"John Collins, having appointed Gareth to the post despite certain reservations, has regrettably decided to tender his resignation following our decision to relieve Gareth of his duties.
"First team affairs ahead of this Saturday's home fixture against Airdrie United will be handled by current Head of Youth Development, Richie Burke whilst the board consider matters going forward.
"No further comment in relation to this development will be made at this time."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
