Cheltenham have become the first English Football League side to sack their manager this season after parting company with Gary Johnson.
The 62-year-old took over at Whaddon Road in 2015 and led the Robins back into the EFL in 2015-16 as National League winners.
A 1-1 draw at Macclesfield earned Cheltenham their first point of the season on Tuesday after three previous defeats, but it was not enough to save Johnson's job.
A club statement said: "It is with great regret that the board of Cheltenham Town FC have this evening parted company with manager Gary Johnson."
"We would like to place on record our sincere thanks for the tireless work that Gary has done on behalf of the club, work that has left the club in a stronger position than when he took over.
"Assistant manager Russell Milton has been placed in temporary charge of team affairs for the foreseeable future."
