"The board's lack of confidence has led to the decision as this time – with pre-season yet to begin, we can still remedy this situation and develop an atmosphere of trust that is needed.

"The club want to sincerely thank Fernando Vazquez for all his work in a difficult time."

It is understood that the Turcos want to appoint a new boss by the end of the week.
