New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh has been sacked following the team's 2-3 start to the NFL season.
The Jets were beaten 23-17 by the Minnesota Vikings in London on Sunday following a home defeat to the Denver Broncos a week earlier.
Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will become interim head coach, with the side next in action on Monday Night Football as they host the Buffalo Bills on October 14, live on Sky Sports.

Saleh, who took charge of the Jets in 2021, leaves the team with a 20-36 record and no playoff appearances.
There appeared to be a difference of opinion between Saleh and Aaron Rodgers regarding the Jets quarterback's cadence following the home defeat to the Broncos.
Saleh said immediately after the game that he was unsure whether the rest of the team were "good enough or ready to handle all the cadence", before backtracking in his media appearance a day later.
However, another loss, this time to the 5-0 Vikings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, has convinced the Jets leadership that change is necessary.
"This was not an easy decision, but we are not where we should be given our expectations, and I believe now is the best time for us to move in a different direction," Jets Chairman Woody Johnson said in a statement.
Johnson said he spoke with Rodgers - but not about a possible coaching change - on Monday. He also chatted with general manager Joe Douglas, but added "this was my decision and my decision alone".
On Ulbrich, Johnson added: "He is a tough coach who has the respect of the coaches and players on this team. I believe he along with the coaches on this staff can get the most out of our talented team and attain the goals we established this offseason."
