The Western Sydney Wanderers have confirmed the departure of head coach, Carl Robinson, with immediate effect.
Robinson was relieved of duties after securing just one win from seven A-League games this season, including a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Brisbane Roar on Saturday, placing the side second last on the ladder.
After failing to take the Wanderers to the A-League Men finals last season, the Welshman ends his tenure with just a 29 per cent win record in the league, winning only nine from 31 games, drawing 10 and losing 12.

“The Wanderers would like to thank Carl for his time at the club over the last one and half seasons and wish him all the best in his future endeavours,” a statement on the Wanderers website read.
While assistant coach Gary van Egmond, who joined the club earlier this month, would appear to be the obvious choice to serve as interim coach until a full-time replacement is found, the club is yet to make a formal decision.
“The club will shortly make an announcement regarding the head coach position for the rest of the season.”

Robinson took control of the Wanderers in 2020, just eight months after taking advantage of an out clause in his Newcastle Jets contract.
The Wanderers will host Perth Glory on Wednesday night.
