Boro, who have won only two of their 11 league games this season, are third from bottom of England’s second tier after Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Coventry.
“Middlesbrough Football Club have terminated the contract of manager Chris Wilder with immediate effect,” said a club statement.

“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Chris and his staff for all their hard work over the past 11 months.”
