Malky Mackay has been sacked as Wigan manager after 138 days in charge of the Championship strugglers.
The 43-year-old former Cardiff City boss, appointed on 19 November following the departure of Uwe Rosler, secured 19 points from a possible 72.
He was sacked following Monday's 2-0 home defeat by Derby County, a result that leaves the Latics eight points adrift of safety with five games left.
"This is a very difficult decision," said Wigan chairman David Sharpe.
"But I feel that for the long-term future of the club, there needs to be a change now."
Wigan's defeat by Derby means they have not won a home league game since 30 August, a run of 18 matches.
The club said no decision has been made regarding Mackay's replacement.
