Cardiff manager Mick McCarthy has left his position \u201cby mutual agreement\u201d, the club have announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 62-year-old and his assistant Terry Connor depart with the Bluebirds having lost their last eight Sky Bet Championship matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest setback was a 2-0 home defeat against Middlesbrough on Saturday and, just over an hour after the final whistle, McCarthy\u2019s fate was sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A club statement read: \u201cCardiff City Football Club can confirm that first-team manager Mick McCarthy and assistant manager Terry Connor have left the club by mutual agreement and with immediate effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe would like to thank Mick and Terry for their efforts during their time with the Bluebirds and wish them all the best for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Republic of Ireland boss McCarthy was appointed as Cardiff boss in January, following the sacking of Neil Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Welsh club sit just above the Championship relegation zone having earned 11 points from their opening 14 matches this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff\u2019s statement added: \u201cSteve Morison and Tom Ramasut will oversee first-team duties at this time, as the board of directors begin the process of appointing a permanent replacement.\u201d<\/p>\n
