Stoke City's poor form has led to the sacking of manager Nathan Jones, who parted ways with the club after a disastrous run of results.
According to reports, Jones' departure was confirmed by the club with immediate effect, with assistant manager Paul Hart and first team coach Joaquin Gomez also leaving their positions.
Stoke City currently sit joint bottom of the Championship table on eight points, only staying inches above Barnsley on goal difference.
Jones' tenure at the club was marked by a series of poor results, with the team winning just six times in 38 games under his leadership.
Despite a brief momentum after back-to-back victories over Swansea and Fulham, the team's form quickly returned to its poor ways, with a crashing defeat to Sheffield Wednesday and a latest loss at Millwall being the final straw for Jones.
Stoke City released a statement on their club website, thanking Jones and his staff for their efforts over the past nine months.
Former Stoke midfielder Rory Delap will take charge of The Potters as the club looks for a new manager.
