Barnsley have parted company with head coach Markus Schopp, the Chronicle understands.
The official announcement is not expected tonight.
Schopp has lost his last seven games and the 13-match winless run was the longest under one manager in the club's history.
The Reds are second-bottom of the Championship.
It is not yet clear who will take charge of the team on Wednesday against bottom club Derby County.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
