UWE ROSLER has been sacked as head coach of Leeds United with Steve Evans expected to take over.
Leeds, who have only won twice this season, sit 18th in the league after their late defeat to Brighton on Saturday.
Rosler took charge in the summer on a two-year deal.
The club are yet to confirm the dismissal but the Yorkshire Evening Post have reported that Rosler told them he has left the club.
Steve Evans left Rotherham last month with the club in the bottom three.
Former Leeds manager Neil Redfearn replaced Evans at the New York Stadium.
At the end of September Leeds owner Massino Cellino emphasised his support of Rosler.
"He's doing a beautiful job. It's a team that when it's ready, it's going to fly," Cellino told BBC Radio Leeds.
"We are starting to build a team and a new mentality. We know that when you want to build something, you need to do the foundations and that takes more time.
"If we are rash with the foundations, we risk breaking the building like we have done before. If we don't do the same with the team and the players, we risk wasting time like in the past years."
However after three defeats in a row he appears to have had a change of mind.
