Birmingham City have sacked manager Garry Monk after just over a year in charge of the Championship club.
There had been talk earlier this month that ex-Middlesbrough, Swansea and Leeds boss Monk, 40, would resign over the exit of Jota to rivals Aston Villa.
Monk's assistant Pep Clotet has been named caretaker head coach.
"The board of directors are hopeful that over time the team can adopt a fresh and modern footballing philosophy," a statement said.
