Borussia Dortmund have sacked head coach Favre following an embarrassing 5-1 loss to recently promoted VfB Stuttgart.
The defeat, which was a third in five league games for Dortmund, left them fifth in the Bundesliga with doubts growing over whether they can achieve their season goals.
Favre had been charge at Dortmund since summer 2018. Results in his 30-month tenure had been acceptable.
He recorded the highest point average of all BVB coaches in history at 2.09, but he never fully exploited the potential of the team.
However, 63-year-old Swiss Favre had led the club into the last 16 of this season's Champions League after they finished top of their group.
Dortmund said that assistant coach Edin Terzic has been appointed as interim manager until the end of the current season.
"That was a catastrophe," said Favre following the defeat by Stuttgart.
"It was not good. We were just not there. That should not happen."
Favre guided Dortmund to second in the German top-flight last season.
