Former Bulls boss John Trewick and fitness coach Tony Ford have also left Shrewsbury in the wake of Graham Turner's departure according to the BBC.
Permatanned Trewick and former Commonwealth Games gold medalist Ford followed Turner to the Shrews in 2010, but their departures have been confirmed tonight with the club dropping into the bottom four of League One.
Crewe's 2-0 win over MK Dons means the Shropshire outfit slip into danger with six of the eight sides around them holding games in hand.
Trewick was the bookies early favourite to take over, with both SkyBet and BetVictor placing him at the top of their lists. The BBC reports that both Gary Megson and Robbie Fowler are expected to apply for the job.
