Garry Monk has been sacked by Cambridge United with the club facing the threat of relegation to League Two.
The 45-year-old was only appointed in March 2024, but has failed to make a positive impact during his 11 months in the dugout at the Abbey Stadium.
After guiding The U’s to 18th place last term, there was hope that the ex-Swansea manager could push for a top half finish this term.
Instead, Cambridge sit rock bottom in 24th spot in League One having lost 18 of their 31 matches.
And following the 1-0 home defeat to Exeter on Saturday, the decision has been made to part ways with the 2013 League Cup winner.
A statement from Cambridge’s majority owner Paul Barry read: “We would like to thank Garry for his hard work and commitment to Cambridge United over the last 12 months.
“He really bought into the club during his time with us and we are all very disappointed that it has not worked out in the way we would all have hoped.
“In the end, the table does not lie and it is the right moment to make a change as we conclude the first part of our football review.
“There are 15 games of this season remaining, and we must continue to fight together to preserve our League One status over the coming weeks.
“At the same time, we will use this period to plan strategically for the next chapter of the football club.
“We will say more about this in the week.”
Monk’s first managerial gig came in February 2014, where he took charge of then-Premier League side Swansea after the sacking of Michael Laudrup.
