Joey Barton is sacked as Bristol Rovers manager after two days he called rival manager Steve Evans a fat man.
The club is in the 16th place of the League One table and has collected only 16 from 39 points.
The boss made his comments after the equalizer with Stevenage on Tuesday.
The club statement said that they had released the coach and wished him luck in the future.
“Bristol Rovers Football Club can confirm that today the club has relieved First Team Manager Joey Barton of his duties.
“Everyone at the club would like to thank Joey for all his efforts and wish him well in the future.
“In the interim, Andy Mangan will lead the team supported by Glenn Whelan, Danny Ventre, and Anssi Jaakkola who will remain in post.”
