Barnsley have announced the departure of head coach Poya Asbaghi just two days after their relegation from the Championship was confirmed.
The Reds' 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town on Friday night sees them drop into League One next term and Asbaghi, who was only hired in November, has now exited Oakwell by mutual consent. The 36-year-old oversaw just five wins in his 36 matches having replaced Markus Schopp, who was axed after just 15 games in the hotseat.
In a statement confirming the departure of both Asbaghi and assistant boss Ferran Sibila, Barnsley's CEO Khaled El-Ahmad said: “On behalf of Barnsley Football Club, I would like to thank both Poya and Ferran for their hard work and professionalism during a difficult time. Our search for a new coach has already started and an announcement will follow once that process is concluded.”
