Former Liverpool coach Sean O'Driscoll has parted company with Walsall.

O'Driscoll leaves following Saturday's 3-1 home defeat by Sky Bet League One promotion rivals Barnsley.

The defeat, which saw Walsall drop to fourth in the table on goal difference, was a sixth successive home game they had failed to win.

Walsall have been among the promotion contenders for most of the season but poor from in front of their own fans has cost O'Driscoll his job.

The club announced on Sunday the decision to move on without the former Bournemouth, Doncaster, Crawley, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City manager.
