AFC Fylde have confirmed they have parted company with manager Kevin Phillips "by mutual consent" with the club locked in a relegation battle.
The former Sunderland and England striker took over at the National League outfit in October after spells in the dugout at South Shields and Hartlepool United.
But after a disappointing run of just five wins in 18 league outings, the 51-year-old leaves with Fylde in 22nd place, a point adrift of safety.
Fylde were promoted to the National League as National League North champions in 2022-23 before finishing five points above the relegation zone last season in 18th place.
Current assistant coach David Longwell is to take charge of the team on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is found.
