Bottom of the League One table Peterborough United have sacked manager Darren Ferguson.

A 2-1 defeat by Blackpool was the final action for the 53-year-old time in charge of the Posh dugout in his fourth spell in charge of the club.

He goes down as a legend at the club having guided the side to promotion on four occasions - and also winning the EFL Trophy in the last two seasons.

This season Ferguson leaves with Posh five points adrift safety.

Chairman Darragh MacAnthony said in a statement.

"I have made the decision to terminate Darren Ferguson's contract after today's game,"

"The decision wasn't taken lightly but it's a decision I feel is the correct one for the football club.

"The gaffer is for me the greatest manager in the club's history who I will always consider to be part of my family and the club's family.

"There are too many wonderful moments to mention here but those many historical celebrated moments I will cherish and remember forever.

"From Monday onwards we start healing and moving forward.

"Goodbye legend and thank you."
