Espanyol have sacked manager Mauricio Pochettino following last night's 2-0 defeat at home to Getafe.
Los Pericos are currently rock-bottom of La Liga with just two wins in 13 games.
Pochettino, 40, took the job in 2009 following two spells as a player at the Estadi Cornella-El Prat.
"This afternoon the club and the coach have agreed by mutual consent to terminate the agreement that unites them," read a statement from the club.
It was the Argetine's first managerial post.
