Preston North End have parted ways with manager Ryan Lowe, the Championship club confirmed on Monday.
After just one game of the 2024-25 season, the 45-year-old has left by mutual consent.
Preston fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Sheffield United on the opening day, leading Lowe to be booed off the pitch by fans.
He has been at the helm for two and a half years, overseeing 125 matches. In that time, he has guided Preston to 13th, 12th, and 10th-place finishes and leaves with a win percentage of 38%.
We can confirm that manager Ryan Lowe has left the club by mutual consent.

“Now is the right time for the club to go in a different direction,” Lowe told Preston’s website.
“I’ve always stressed since I walked through the door that if I can’t take the club any further, I’d leave it to someone else and that’s what I’m doing.
“I’m leaving the club in a good place with a fantastic squad, and I just wish the football club and everyone associated with it all the best in the future.”
