Everton have confirmed manager Roberto Martinez has been sacked following a dismal Premier League campaign.
The Spaniard leaves Everton on the back of a poor run of just one win in their last 10 league games, with the club currently sitting 12th in the table with one match to go.
Everton's new major shareholder Farhad Moshiri decided to relieve Martinez of his duties after holding discussions with the rest of the Goodison Park hierarchy on Friday.
Martinez joined the Toffees in 2013 and guided them to a record Premier League points haul (72) and fifth place in his first season in charge and the club have thanked him for his efforts.
"Everton Football Club regrets to announce that Roberto Martinez has left his position as first team manager with immediate effect," the club confirmed in a statement.
"The chairman and the board of directors would like to place on record their thanks for the dedication and commitment Roberto has shown during his three seasons with the club. Roberto has been a great ambassador for the club, conducting himself, at all times, with the utmost integrity and dignity.
