Matthew Mott has been sacked as Seattle Orcas head coach after a winless start to this year's Major League Cricket season.
The 51-year-old Australian, who coached England men's limited-overs side between 2022-2024, has overseen a run of five straight defeats which left them bottom of the MLC standings.
Mott only became Orcas head coach this year, but the franchise said there were "differences in coaching and management strategies".
Orcas chief executive Hemant Dua said: "This is a moment of reflection and renewal for the Seattle Orcas. This has been a tough run for the team, and with it, some difficult decisions had to be made.
"We are grateful to Matthew for his commitment and professionalism during his time with us, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors."
South African Heinrich Klaasen has also quit as Orcas captain with Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza taking over the role.
