Neil Warnock was Saturday sacked as the manager of Crystal Palace after just four months in charge at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles dropped into the bottom three of the English Premier League on Boxing Day after a 1-3 loss to Southampton, with pressure mounting on Warnock and fans calling for his head, reports dailymailco.uk.
"Crystal Palace Football Club can today confirm that Neil Warnock has been relieved of his duties and is no longer first-team manager," the club said in a statement.
"The club would like to put on record its thanks to Neil for all his hard work and energy over the past four months."
Keith Millen will once again take temporary charge, with Palace travelling to Queens Park Rangers Sunday.
Warnock becomes the first managerial casualty of the Premier League season, taking charge of just 18 league games in his second stint at Selhurst Park.
The substitution of winger Yannick Bolasie for full back Martin Kelly, when Palace were 0-3 down to Southampton, saw fans call for Warnock's head Friday.
