Marvin Bartley has resigned as head coach of Livingston following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership.
The 39-year-old former Hibernian, Livingston and Bournemouth midfielder took charge in January, stepping up from the assistant's role once David Martindale moved into a sporting director position.
Coach Neil Hastings has left along with Bartley as veteran midfielder Scott Arfield heads up an interim management team for the three remaining top-flight matches.
Martindale, who has been at the club since 2014, became manager six years ago and led Livingston back to the Premiership at the first time of asking through the play-offs following relegation two seasons ago.
However, this season they went on a 33-game run without a victory, with 31 in the league being a record in the Scottish top flight.
Bartley did lead his side to a 2-0 win at St Mirren two weeks ago, but despite Friday's 2-2 draw with Aberdeen, their fate was sealed when second-bottom Kilmarnock beat Dundee United the following day.
The former Queen of the South manager moves on with a record of one win, six draws and four defeats.
