Norwich City have sacked Dean Smith as their head coach following the 2-1 defeat at Luton Town on Boxing Day.
The latest defeat leaves the Canaries fifth in the table, with 12 points behind league leaders Burnley. That was also their third loss in five Championship matches.
Norwich have now confirmed the dismissal of Smith as well as assistant head coach Craig Shakespeare and first team coach Liam Bramley.
Head of development Steve Weaver and set-piece coach Allan Russell have been put in charge on an interim basis.
Smith took over the English side in November last year following the sacking of Daniel Farke.
The 51-year-old failed to secure Premier League survival for the Yellows as they finished at the bottom of the table with a meagre 22 points.
However, Smith guided his guide to a positive start to the 2022-23 season, with the Canaries aiming to seal an immediate return to the English top-flight.
However, their good form didn’t last long as they picked up several disappointing results to drop down to fifth in the standings.
Norwich City have now made the decision to part company with Smith who previously had managerial stints at Aston Villa, Brentford, and Walsall.
The Championship side will now return to action on Friday as they welcome Reading to Carrow Road.
