East Fife have parted company with manager Darren Young, who had been in charge of the Methil club since the summer of 2017.
The cinch League 1 side were sitting just outside the play-off places when the pandemic struck in 2019/20 and finished sixth last season.
However, Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Clyde at Broadwood leaves East Fife five points adrift at the bottom of the table after 15 matches.
