Frank Lampard has been sacked by Chelsea after just 18 months as head coach and will be replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
In a statement, Chelsea said "results and performances have not met the club's expectations, leaving the club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement".
Lampard said he was "disappointed not to have had the time this season to take the club forward and bring it to the next level".
Tuchel, who left Paris Saint-Germain in December and previously managed Borussia Dortmund, will sign an 18-month contract to be Chelsea's next head coach, with an option to extend for a further 12 months.

Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol:
"Roman Abramovich's quotes on the sacking show just how much respect he has for Frank Lampard. Abramovich has never previously commented on footballing matters.
"The decision was difficult because it was Lampard, but easy because of what was happening on the pitch.
"Lampard lost his job because the board were very concerned by results and performances, especially the fact that he has the worst points per game record of any manager in the Abramovich era.
"The board could not see a way for Lampard to reverse the negative direction of travel.

Chelsea are keen to appoint a German manager to coach the likes of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner, says transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, with Thomas Tuchel set to replace Frank Lampard
Sky Sports' Pete Smith:
Those losses to Manchester City and Leicester mean Chelsea haven't won any of the six games they've had against teams currently above them in the table. It's a statistic that does not reflect well on a head coach who is aiming to win respect for his tactical ability.
Nor did the constant team changes over recent weeks, which saw Antonio Rudiger swiftly promoted from exile to first-choice centre back, Jorginho suddenly return to midfield - and Lampard use no fewer than 17 combinations in the front three across the Premier League and Champions League.
The goals conceded column, set-piece susceptibility, and wasteful finishing continued to hold the team back, despite the expensive outlay, and Lampard leaves the team ninth in the Premier League on 29 points. That's five places and three points worse off than at the same point last season.

Chelsea's dip in form and a lack of consistency from some of the club's high-profile signings proved costly to Frank Lampard, says Sue Smith
Soccer Saturday pundit Paul Merson told Sky Sports News:
As a Chelsea fan, I find it a bit disappointing decision.
You have to give Frank Lampard a chance. He pulled up trees last season to get them in the Champions League, and they are still in the competition this season.
They have had a bad run. They've brought in a lot of players and Lampard is working with the best group of players he's worked with, but most of them play in the same position.
