PSV Eindhoven axed former Dutch international Mark van Bommel as manager Monday following a string of disappointing results which came to a head after a 3-1 loss against arch-rivals Feyenoord.
The move comes after the southern Dutch club won just two of their last 12 games and with PSV 10 points adrift of Ajax and AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie title race.
"PSV's board decided this morning to end its cooperation with chief coach Mark van Bommel," the club said in a statement.
"The decision is based on the continual series of negative results," the club said, with general manager Toon Gerbrands adding "it's a large decline and unworthy of PSV."
Van Bommel was still upbeat after Sunday's loss in Rotterdam, saying "even though I have to fight the whole world I won't give up."
