Sheffield United have sacked manager Ruben Selles after just five games of the new Championship season.
The Blades were thrashed 5-0 at Ipswich on Friday night to leave them rooted to the bottom of the table without a point.
The 42-year-old Selles only replaced Chis Wilder on June 18 and signed a three-year deal.
After a disappointing start to the EFL Championship campaign, Rubén Sellés has been relieved of his duties as manager.
The board of directors wish to thank Mr Sellés for his hard work.

According to reports, Wilder is set to return as Selles’ replacement in the Bramall Lane dugout.
He left the club after leading them to Championship play-off final, where they came within minutes of booking an immediate return to the Premier League.
However, results under Selles have nosedived, with his side scoring just one league goal so far this term and also crashing out of the Carabao Cup to Birmingham.
The club said in a statement: “Sheffield United Football Club’s board of directors have opted to make a change at managerial level.
“After a disappointing start to the EFL Championship campaign, Ruben Selles has been relieved of his duties as manager.
“Following a review of recent performances, and taking into account the feelings of supporters, the timing of the change has been made to give the club the best possible opportunity to improve the current league position.
“The board of directors wish to thank Mr Selles for his hard work.
“A new manager will be named in due course.”
