Blackpool Football Club can confirm Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor have both left the Club by mutual consent.
 
With results on the pitch not improving in recent weeks, the decision has been agreed by both parties that a change is needed.
 
Mick McCarthy said:
 
"After recent performances and results, I have thought long and hard and feel this is the best decision for everyone concerned with the football club.
 
"I've loved my time here and thank everyone for their support. I wish everyone well going forward.”
 
The Club would like to thank both Mick and Terry for their efforts and wish them well for the future.
 
Senior Professional Development Lead Phase Coach Stephen Dobbie will now take charge of the first-team for the remainder of the season, assisted by Matt Blinkhorn and Steve Banks.
