Ipswich Town have sacked manager Paul Cook.
Cook previously managed Sligo Rovers from 2007 until 2012.
During his five years in Ireland he led Sligo to FAI Cup titles in 2010 and 2011 and won the League Cup in 2010.
League One side Ipswich have won just two of their last nine games and a draw with Barrow seemed the final straw for Cook.
Mark Ashton, Ipswich's chief executive, told the club's website: "Firstly, we would like to thank Paul and his team for their efforts in what has been a difficult transition period for everyone.
"I know how much Paul wanted to succeed at this club. However, following discussions with the board, we have decided a change is needed for our long-term interests.
"At this moment, there is no one lined up to replace Paul. There will be an extensive search to find the best replacement for the club."
Cook replaced Paul Lambert as Ipswich boss in March this year and signed a contract until the summer of 2023.
Ipswich are currently 11th in the table, seven points behind MK Dons - who occupy the final play-off spot - and 11 points behind leaders Rotherham.
