Arbroath have parted company with manager Allan Moore in the wake of Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Elgin City at Borough Briggs.
The Gayfield side were six points clear at the top of League 2 at the halfway stage but have slipped to third place after a run of just one win in 15 games since the turn of the year.
Moore, who was previously boss at Stirling Albion and Morton, took over from Paul Sheerin in June 2014 but a statement on the club website read: "After a prolonged period of poor results, and discussions at Board level, Allan Moore is no longer manager of Arbroath FC.
"The club are now actively seeking applications for the position of manager."
