Peterborough have sacked manager Grant McCann, with Darren Ferguson returning until the end of the season for a fourth spell in charge.
Eighth-placed Posh have lost five of their last seven league games to leave themselves trailing the play-off pack by five points, and have won just once in the league since October.
McCann was handed his second stint at the Peterborough helm in February 2022 after leaving Hull but despite an upswing in form could not prevent the club from being relegated from the Championship last season.
