Huddersfield boss Mark Robins became the first managerial casualty of the season on Saturday.
Robins was ousted after visitors Bournemouth destroyed Huddersfield 4-0 on the first day of the Championship season.
Angry fans jeered at Robins and his players, before he was hauled in front of the club’s board.
The 44-year-old took charge of the Terriers in February 2013, helping them avoid relegation that year and then leading them to a 17th-place finish last term.
Assistant manager Steve Thompson will take charge of the team during Sunday’s training session, along with first-team coach Steve Eyre.
“Following yesterday’s first-day defeat, Mark met with the board of directors. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mark and the directors all agreed it would be in the interests of all parties to part company,” the club said in a statement.
“Accordingly, Mark’s contract has ended amicably and by mutual consent.
“Huddersfield Town would like to place on record its thanks to Mark and wish him all the best for the future.”
Town chairman Dean Hoyle added: “Mark has put his all into the job over the past 16 months and has made a big contribution to the club.
“Mark’s approach to this has been refreshing. He has always put the club before himself and worked tirelessly on the training ground to change our way of playing and we have seen that come to fruition.”
