Dunfermline has sacked Michael Tidser after only 11 games in charge.
The 35-year-old was poached by the Pars from Kelty Hearts after the dismissal of James McPake in December.
However, things have not picked up in the way the club's board envisaged, and so they have decided to pull the trigger.
The club sit ninth in the Championship, only six points above Airdrieonians who occupy the bottom spot.

Hamilton are just one point above Dunfermline, as the division's relegation battle looks set to go down to the wire in the coming weeks.
A club statement reads: "Dunfermline Athletic can confirm the departure of Head Coach Michael Tidser.
"Assistant Head Coach Kevin McDonald, along with John McLaughlan and first team player David Wotherspoon will take training in the interim period.
"Further updates will be issued in due course."
Chairman and CEO David Cook commented: “Clearly this has been a difficult spell for the club and our supporters. We wish Michael all the best and thank him for his efforts while Head Coach.
We are now working on making an appointment to help us maintain our league status."
