Manager Paul Simpson has left Carlisle United following their 2-1 home defeat by Tranmere Rovers.
The Carlisle-born Simpson, 58, ended his playing career with the Cumbrian club and returned for a second spell as manager in 2022, leading them to promotion.
However, they were relegated to League Two last season and Saturday’s loss was their third from four league matches this term.
Assistant managers Gavin Skelton and Billy Barr have also departed, as has Simpson’s son Jake, who was the club’s head of performance.
Academy coaches Mark Birch, Steven Rudd and Jamie Devitt have been placed in caretaker charge.
