Rob Scott has been sacked as joint manager of Grimsby Town Football Club.
The termination of his employment was announced in a statement on the club's website this afternoon.
It states the reason for his dismissal relates to his failure to "accord with an acceptable standard of conduct."
The club added: "Rob's failure to improve, and the circumstances relating to Gross Misconduct during the Nuneaton home fixture, led to the disciplinary panel concluding there is nothing to suggest he was likely to change."
Mr Scott appealed the decision but on the basis of the information he provided, the appeal was rejected.
The club have said no further statement will be made until this process concludes, which may take a couple of weeks or more.
