Sean Dyche has been sacked as Everton manager after less than two years in charge at Goodison Park.
The 53-year-old's departure was announced just hours before Everton were due to host League One side Peterborough in the third round of the FA Cup.
Everton announced their under-18s head coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman had been put in charge of the team for that game.
Right-back Coleman and former left-back Baines have made more than 800 Everton appearances between them.
Four members of Dyche's coaching staff - Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard and Billy Mercer - have also departed.
The Toffees were beaten 1-0 by Bournemouth on Saturday and sit 16th in the Premier League and just one point clear of the relegation zone.
They failed to register a shot on target at Vitality Stadium and have won just three of 19 games in the league this season.
