Bristol City have sacked manager Nigel Pearson after two and a half years in charge, with the Robins 15th in the Championship.
The club have lost five of their past seven matches with Saturday’s 2-0 defeat by Cardiff Pearson’s final game.
The 60-year-old was appointed in February 2021, initially on a short-term deal, and was the second longest-serving manager in the Championship.
His contract was due to expire at the end of this season.
