Adams oversaw Morecambe during a torrid spell which saw them hit major financial problems and were banned from competing in the National League.

A statement said: “Morecambe Football Club can confirm that we have parted ways with Derek Adams.

“Morecambe Football Club, now proudly backed by Panjab Warriors would like to extend its sincere gratitude to Derek Adams for the leadership and steadiness he brought to the club during a testing chapter for the club.

“His return instilled direction and purpose, helping guide Morecambe into League One for the first time in their history and stabilized the team under immense pressure.

“As the club enters a new era, a strategic transition in leadership, has been made with respect and appreciation for Derek’s services.

“We wish Derek Adams every success in his future endeavours.”

Fans have been left stunned by the news.

One said: "What an awful decision, pathetic."

Another added: "That's an awful decision, great start fellas, baffling..."

A third commented: "Why sack him? Why not give him a chance to see what he can do? Going to be a big mistake by Panjab Warriors."

A fourth reflected: "Part and parcel of new ownership in football, is a change of management.

"Under any other circumstance, you'd think the decision would be justifiable, but what the previous ownership put DA through, this is just the wrong decision."
