"Nigel Clough has been sacked as the manager of Sheffield United.
The Blades reached the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup but finished fifth in League One and failed to gain promotion through the play-offs.
A statement on the club's website said: "A change in direction was necessary for the forthcoming season."
Clough's backroom staff of Gary Crosby, Andy Garner, Martin Taylor, Simon Clough, Michael Forsyth and Matt Brown will also leave the club, which faces a fifth successive year in the third tier."
