Hereford are expected to appoint an interim manager after Paul Caddis was sacked.
A 3-0 defeat at AFC Telford United on Tuesday evening proved the final straw for the club's board as they announced they had parted company with the former Scotland international with immediate effect.
In a statement issued by the club, they said a further update on the managerial position will be provided as soon as possible, but no timescales were given.
There was no mention of Caddis's assistant Adam Rooney, it remains to be seen whether he will take charge in the interim while the search starts for a permanent replacement.
While some fans have already said Andy Williams could be put in charge temporarily, it is also worth noting that captain Lewis Hudson recently got his UEFA A Licence.
Caddis, who was praised by chairman Chris Ammonds for the role he played in helping to stabilise the club after his appointment in April 2023, leaves Hereford one off the bottom of National League North, nine points from safety with up to eight games in hand.
With poor performances in the league, where Caddis's tactics were often called into question, one win in their last 14 National League North matches and problems with the pitch have led to a difficult campaign.
That came off the back of an unusual summer, with pitch problems leading to no home friendlies, a sluggish start to recruitment and rumours of Caddis being interviewed for at least one job - something he denied.
While off-the-pitch problems have made life tricky for Caddis, the board has stuck with him until now and given him time to try and turn things around.
However, last night's defeat, in which the Bulls never really looked like scoring, proved one too many for the board.
Now the Bulls face an uphill battle to avoid their first relegation since reforming.
