Plymouth Argyle has terminated the contract of head coach Ian Foster after a series of disappointing performances, culminating in five consecutive home defeats without scoring a goal. This drastic downturn in form contrasts sharply with their previous record at Home Park, where they had only 3 defeats in 31 matches, including 26 wins. Foster's dismissal comes after just three months and 14 league games in charge, during which the team suffered 8 defeats in 11 matches, leaving Plymouth Argyle one place and one point above the Championship relegation zone. Director of Football Neil Dewsnip will assume responsibility for the team until the end of the season. The club's decision to sack Foster has been reported amidst speculations of an iconic manager potentially taking over to help the team avoid relegation.
