Liverpool's disappointing draw away to Everton on Sunday has turned out to be Brendan Rodgers last match in charge as Liverpool coach.
The news was announced on Liverpool's official website through a joint statement from Fenway Sports Group:
"We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Brendan Rodgers for the significant contribution he has made to the club and express our gratitude for his hard work and commitment.
"All of us have experienced some wonderful moments with Brendan as manager and we are confident he will enjoy a long career in the game.
"Although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for success on the pitch. Ambition and winning are at the heart of what we want to bring to Liverpool and we believe this change gives us the best opportunity to deliver it.
"The search for a new manager is underway and we hope to make an appointment in a decisive and timely manner."
