League One strugglers Notts County have sacked boss Shaun Derry and his assistant Greg Abbott. Notts are only one place above the relegation zone on goal difference after Saturday's 4-1 loss at MK Dons.
Aileen Trew, who has been named chief executive following Jim Rodwell's move to Scunthorpe last week, said: "This is without doubt one of the hardest decisions that we have had to make."
She added: "We know how much this club means to Shaun and Greg and we know how much hard work they had both put in during their time here.
"However, we have to make the decisions that we feel are in the best interests of the club and our perilous position in the table meant that we felt we needed to make a change."
