Cowdenbeath have begun the search for a new manager after parting company with Liam Fox following a run of seven straight defeats.
The Blue Brazil are rooted to the bottom of League 2, seven points adrift of ninth-placed Edinburgh City, and are facing the distinct possibility of a dreaded pyramid promotion play-off at the end of the regular season.
Fox, who had previously worked as a youth coach at Hearts, joined Cowdenbeath in May, last year following Colin Nish’s departure.
Now, he has also left the Fife club who said in a statement: “At tonight’s board meeting at Central Park the directors of Cowdenbeath FC accepted the resignation of Head Coach Liam Fox.
“He now leaves his role at the club by mutual consent. The club regrets that despite Liam’s great efforts and true professionalism he was not able to bring the success we all wished for.
“He did face a number of challenges this season, some of which few managers would normally expect to encounter, especially in their first season in management.
“He leaves Central Park with the respect and best wishes of the Chairman and all the Directors of the club.
“Cowdenbeath FC now invites applications for the post of manager.”
