Aston Villa have sacked manager Alex McLeish after 11 months in charge.
The 53-year-old former Scotland manager said his farewells to the club's staff on Monday morning.
Villa have endured a poor Premier League campaign, finishing just above the relegation zone after winning only four of 19 games at home.
McLeish was an unpopular appointment as he arrived from Birmingham City last year but poor results and performances worsened his relationship with fans.
A club statement read: "Aston Villa can confirm that Alex McLeish's contract has been terminated with immediate effect. The club has been disappointed with this season's results, performances and the general message these have sent to our fans.
"The board wishes to assure supporters that we are conscious in every sense that Villa expects and deserves more and we will strive to deliver this."
