DUNFERMLINE have confirmed that Peter Grant has left the club by mutual consent.
The former Celtic midfielder took over as Pars boss in May after leaving Alloa.
But with the club rooted to the bottom of the Scottish Championship the 56-year-old has stepped down after just five months in his role.
A club statement read: "DAFC can confirm today that it has sadly parted company with Manager, Peter Grant.
"We would like to place on record our thanks to Peter for his efforts, hard work and professionalism during his time at East End Park, and we wish him and his family every success in the future.
"A fresh robust recruitment process to find a replacement for Peter to lead our club forward will start immediately. In the meantime, Greg Shields and Steven Whittaker have agreed to lead the team on an interim basis, and they will be supported by Sports Director, Thomas Meggle."
