Frank de Boer has been sacked as Crystal Palace manager after five games and 77 days in charge.
Former England boss Roy Hodgson will replace him, BBC Sport understands.
The Eagles are 19th in the Premier League after losing 1-0 at Burnley on Sunday - and failed to score in their four league matches under De Boer.
Former Ajax boss De Boer, 47, only took over this summer, succeeding
Sam Allardyce, who left after helping Palace avoid relegation last
season.
His only win as Palace manager came in the EFL Cup against Ipswich Town.
Should Hodgson take the job on a permanent basis, he will be the club's seventh permanent manager in six years.
Palace chairman Steve Parish was at Turf Moor on Sunday and said
afterwards: "It's a terrible start but we have to stick together.
"People are frustrated, I'm frustrated, so are the management and players. We know we are better than this.
"I'm defending everyone at the club who is working their backside off
to turn this around. Football teams lose games. It happens.
"Who has the better squad, us or Burnley? We had a much weaker squad
when we finished 11th. The buck stops with me; I've never run away from
that."
Speaking earlier this month, Parish had said De Boer's start had "not been great" and football was a "results-based business".
De Boer made two major signings at Palace, paying £26m for Liverpool
centre-half Mamadou Sakho and signing Ajax defender Jairo Riedewald for
£7.9m.
He also recruited full-back Timothy Fosu-Mensah and midfielder Ruben
Loftus-Cheek on loan from Manchester United and Chelsea respectively.
