Former Newcastle and Peru midfielder Nolberto Solano has parted company with Northern Premier League side Blyth Spartans.
The 49-year-old was appointed Spartans manager in May in the wake of the club's relegation from the National League North, but has presided over a run of six games without a victory at the start of the new campaign which has left the club second bottom with just three points.
A statement on Blyth's official website said: "Blyth Spartans can confirm that they have agreed to part ways with Nolberto Solano.
"The club would like to place on record its thanks to Nobby for his efforts while at Spartans.
"Assistant manager David Stockdale will take charge of the squad as the interim manager ahead of Saturday's Emirates FA Cup tie (against Campion AFC)."
