League OneCoventry City have sacked manager Steven Pressley after almost two years in the post. Pressley's assistant Neil MacFarlane and professional development coach Dave Hockaday, who arrived only three weeks ago, have been put in temporary charge.
The Sky Blues have slipped into the League One relegation zone, having failed to win any of their last seven matches.
"It was very difficult from a personal and professional point of view," said chief executive Steve Waggott.
"But results over recent weeks and months, and our precarious position in the league table, means that a change of direction at first team level is needed."
