Coventry City have sacked manager Chris Coleman after finishing 19th in the Championship following Sunday's 4-0 home defeat by Watford.
The ex-Fulham boss, 39, took over in February 2008 and led the Sky Blues to survival that year and 17th last term.
A club statement read: "The board stressed that the decision was not a knee-jerk reaction to Sunday's match.
"The team's form deteriorated rapidly towards the end of the season for the second year running."
Coventry chairman Ray Ranson said: "I enjoyed a very close working relationship with Chris and it's been a pleasure to work with him since his arrival.
"The board would like to place on record their thanks for his efforts over two and a half years.
"We will not be rushed into finding a successor and the board will explore every avenue to appoint the right manager to take Coventry City forward."
Coleman, who made over 30 appearances for Wales, had a playing career that included stints at Swansea, Crystal Palace, Blackburn and Fulham.
However, he was forced to hang up his boots in 2002 after failing to recover fully from a serious car crash nearly two years earlier.
He was appointed manager of Fulham in 2003 but parted company with the London club in 2007 before having a stint in charge of Spanish side Real Sociedad.
