Derby County sack head Coach Paul Warne
The club have been struggling since gaining promotion to the Championship last season
Head coach Paul Warne has been sacked by Sky Bet Championship strugglers Derby.
The Rams, who were promoted from League One last season, have lost their last seven second-tier games to sit in the relegation zone, two points off safety.
Owner David Clowes told the club's website: "Paul is a man of great integrity and embodies the values we hold important at Derby County.
"No fan should ever forget his contribution in securing promotion to the Championship. I certainly won't.
"However, results in football dictate decisions and we felt that to give us the best chance of retaining our Championship status, the time was right to make a change."
