Nick Montgomery has been sacked as Hibernian manager.
The 42-year-old has been relieved of his duties with Easter Road chiefs insisting the decision was "necessary".
Montgomery's assistants Sergio Raimundo and Miguel Miranda have also left the club with immediate effect.
David Gray has been named as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season - his fourth stint in the temporary position.
A Hibs statement read: "Hibernian FC can confirm that Nick Montgomery has been relieved of his duties as Head Coach.
"In addition, Sergio Raimundo and Miguel Miranda have also left the Club with immediate effect."
The statement added: "David Gray will take charge of the First Team for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.
"No further comment will be made at this time."

The Gordon family said: “As a Board this was not a decision we made lightly, but felt it a necessary one to move the team forward.
"Although Nick and his coaching team worked tirelessly, their efforts didn’t deliver the results we had hoped for.
“We’d like to thank Nick, Sergio, and Miguel for all of their hard work and dedication, and wish them all the best for the future.”
Hibs have endured a disappointing Scottish Premiership season as they missed out on the top six and won just once in their three post-split fixtures.
A 3-1 victory over St Johnstone was followed by a 2-1 loss to Ross County and then a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Aberdeen on Sunday.
