Sky Sports News understands that Crystal Palace have sacked manager Steve Kember after a disastrous run of results.
The South Londoners have won just once in their last 13 league games, and Sarturday's 5-0 reverse at Wigan proved to be the final straw for chairman Simon Jordan.
Jordan appointed Kember permanently during the summer after the 55-year-old had stepped in as caretaker boss following the dismissal of Trevor Francis last April.
Veteran defender Kit Symons has agreed to take charge of first-team affairs on an interim basis as the club begins its search for Kember's successor.
Oldham boss Iain Dowie and former Wycombe chief Lawrie Sanchez have been mooted as early front-runners for the Selhurst Park post as The Eagles look for their third manager in just six months.
Kember has been allowed to keep the his company caravan as part of the severance package.
