Motherwell have sacked their manager Graham Alexander less than 24 hours after their Europa Conference League exit at the Showgrounds.
The Scottish Premier League side were beaten 2-0 on Thursday night by Sligo Rovers to exit the competition 3-0 on aggregate - and Alexander has paid the price.
Motherwell Chairman Jim McMahon told the club's website: “Graham asked to speak with us early on Friday morning, and everyone agreed that it would be best to make a change.
“We asked Graham to reverse our fortunes when he arrived eighteen months ago and he did that, before a really solid start to his first full season at Fir Park laid the foundations for what ultimately led to a fifth place finish and European football.
“However, things haven’t gone as well for a spell in 2022 and although the timing is not ideal, we hope a change will bring about fresh impetus for everyone ahead of the 2022/23 season."
