Africa Cup of Nations hosts Ivory Coast have sacked coach Jean-Louis Gasset midway through the tournament, the country's football federation (FIF) announced on Wednesday.
"The contracts of coach Jean-Louis Gasset and his assistant Ghislain Printant are terminated due to insufficient results," the FIF said in a statement.
The Ivorians suffered an embarrassing 4-0 thrashing by Equatorial Guinea in their last Group A game on Monday.
The two-time champions need results to go in their favour in Wednesday's final group matches to reach the knock-out phase as one of the four best third-placed teams.
Ivory Coast have only failed to get out of the group phase once in the previous nine editions of the tournament, in 2017.
