Kevin Phillips has left AFC Fylde after just four months in charge following defeat to relegation rivals Boston United.
The former South Shields and Hartlepool United boss leaves the Coasters 22nd in the National League table and a point from safety after just five wins in his 20 games since arriving in October.
Phillips’ final match ended in a 2-1 defeat to Boston, who now sit six points below Fylde with two games in hand.
A club statement said: “AFC Fylde can confirm that the club and Head Coach Kevin Phillips have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect.
“We would like to thank Kevin for his efforts and wish him well for the future.
“Current assistant coach David Longwell will take charge of the team on an interim basis until we announce a permanent replacement.”
