Portsmouth have sacked head coach Danny Cowley after a run of nine League One games without a win left them nine points from the play-off places.
His brother - and assistant - Nicky has also been sacked, with the pair spending 22 months at Fratton Park.
The former Lincoln and Huddersfield coaches had replaced Kenny Jackett.
They led Pompey to an eighth-placed finish in 2020-21 - missing out on the play-offs by two points - before guiding them to 10th last season.
"We are desperately disappointed that, following our recent run of results, we have today made the difficult decision to part company with Danny and Nicky," said chief executive Andrew Cullen.
"Both Danny and Nicky have given everything to Pompey, working so hard inside and outside of the training ground with a determination to bring success - not just to the football club, but to the city of Portsmouth and the wider community."
