Mark McGhee has been sacked as manager of Aberdeen with the 53-year-old's side sitting second bottom of the Scottish Premier League table.
The Dons said on their website that McGhee and assistants Scott Leitch and Colin Meldrum "have left the club".
McGhee, who took charge in June 2009, survived a record 9-0 defeat by Celtic on 6 November, after which the club's board backed him to continue.
But their 2-0 loss to Kilmarnock on Saturday was their sixth in succession.
And the Dons' announcement came a couple of hours after the SPL announced that all the weekend's fixtures, including Celtic's visit to Pittodrie, had been postponed because of the severe weather.
Aberdeen's next fixture is away to Hearts on 11 December, but chairman Stewart Milne has not set a timescale for a permanent appointment.
