KEVIN PHILLIPS has been axed by National League side AFC Fylde after just four months in charge.
And it brings to an end a miserable four months at the helm, with Phillips winning just five of his 20 matches.
And assistant David Longwell will take charge on an interim basis as chiefs hunt for a new manager to save them from the drop to non-league.
A club statement revealed Fylde parted ways with Phillips by "mutual consent.".
The former Premier League star leaves with the club languishing in 22nd place.
