Dowie sacked as Coventry manager
Iain Dowie has been sacked as manager by Championship club Coventry.
The Sky Blues are currently hovering four points above the relegation zone and the move comes on the back of a 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Preston.
Dowie's assistant Tim Flowers and Bob Dowie, who was part of the backroom team, have also left the club.
Frankie Bunn and John Harbin have taken charge of the team ahead of the game against Cardiff on Tuesday and the FA Cup tie against West Brom on Saturday.
Coventry have lost five of their last six league games and, despite reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup, that has not been enough to save Dowie's job.
The club confirmed the news in a brief statement on their website and said they would not be "making any further comment at this time".
Dowie took over at the Ricoh Arena last February and started this season in promising fashion.
His side beat Manchester United 2-0 in the Carling Cup and they also knocked Blackburn out of the FA Cup in January.
