Barnsley have parted company with head coach Markus Schopp, the Chronicle understands.
The official announcement is not expected tonight.
Schopp has lost his last seven games and the 13-match winless run was the longest under one manager in the club's history.
The Reds are second-bottom of the Championship.
It is not yet clear who will take charge of the team on Wednesday against bottom club Derby County.
