Barnsley have announced that manager Danny Wilson has been sacked from his position following an unsuccessful second spell in charge of the League One club.
The 55-year-old, who coached the team between 1994 and 1998, returned to the club in 2013, but has overseen the side slip to 17th in the table after 29 games this season.
A statement via the club's official website read: "The club would like to place on record its thanks for Danny's work ethic and determination during his time with the club.
"Danny joined the club at a very difficult time which was a testament to his character and affection for the club, all the while demonstrating the utmost professionalism during his time with the club. Danny will always be welcome back at Oakwell."
Assistant manager Chris Hutchings has also had his contract terminated, and head of academy coaching Mark Burton will step in on a caretaker basis.
