Premier League club Sunderland have parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio following the side's 3-0 loss at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
"Sunderland AFC confirms that it has parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio this evening," a statement on the club website (www.safc.com) said on Sunday.
The Italian leaves Sunderland bottom of the Premier League with one point from five matches.
Di Canio, 45, was verbally abused by travelling supporters on Saturday and was later highly critical of his players.
"The players need to release the rubbish from their brains. They have to have more confrontation, more anger with each other," he said.
"They need to look into each other's eyes. They lost their belief after 20 minutes. They turned their faces away. They must try to discover their mentality."
Di Canio, who began his playing career in Serie A before spending seven seasons in the Premier League with Sheffield Wednesday, West Ham United and Charlton Athletic, entered soccer management in England with Swindon Town.
He was appointed manager of Sunderland last March on a 2-1/2-year contract after Martin O'Neill was sacked on the previous day.
Sunderland said former club midfielder Kevin Ball would take charge of the team ahead of Tuesday's League Cup match against Peterborough.
"An announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor," the club statement said.
