Nottingham Forest's arch rivals Derby County have parted company with manager Phillip Cocu after slipping to the bottom of the Championship.
Wayne Rooney will now help Derby prepare for their next fixture after the international break.
Dutchman Cocu took over as Rams boss during the summer of 2019, when Frank Lampard had left for Chelsea.
However, Derby have managed just six points this season, and sit bottom of the table.
Assistant manager Chris Van Der Weerden and specialist first-team coach Twan Scheepers have also left their roles.
Following confirmation of Cocu’s departure by mutual consent, former England captain Rooney revealed he had been asked to help the squad prepare for the trip to Bristol City on November 21.
Here's a look at how Forest fans reacted to Cocu's departure on Twitter.
Kyle Kirkland : Gutted Cocu has been sacked. Best Derby manager Forest have had in years #NFFC
Dave Holmes: Thought he was doing a cracking job personally...
Sarcastic Forest : Amateurs. It’s been 21 minutes. Our new appointed manager would have had set up his office by now
SpeedyRed711: Please God give Rooney the job
Neil Cooper: Cowley's must be in contention, with their lower league experience? They'll know exactly what it takes to get promoted from League 1
Oli Brady : Thank you for all the hard work Agent Cocu. You will be forever remembered for the job you did
