The U’s have ended the reign of Gary Rowett just over a year on from his appointment at the Kassam Stadium.
He kept Oxford afloat in the Championship last season, although they have dropped into 22nd in the table this term.
With the club in the relegation zone, a change has been made and the hunt for a new boss is already underway. Rowett’s assistant, Mark Sale, has also left the club.
Oxford chairman Grant Ferguson said: “Gary joined during a challenging period and deserves immense credit for the hard work and leadership that saw us retain our Championship status last season.
“However, following a disappointing run of results, we have had to take this difficult decision in the best interests of the club.
“On behalf of the board, I would like to place on record our thanks to Gary and Mark for their contribution to the football club and to wish them all the best for the future.”
Here are the early BetVictor favourites to land the Oxford job.
