From the source

League One Sheffield Wednesday have sacked head coach Henrik Pedersen after less than 15 months in charge following two defeats in five days.

Pedersen's final match in charge was a 2-0 defeat at Doncaster Rovers in a South Yorkshire derby on Saturday, when fans called for the 48-year-old to leave after seeing their side concede twice inside the first 17 minutes.

Matt Hamshaw, who was sacked by Rotherham United after less than a year in charge last season before becoming a coach at Wednesday in August, has taken over on an interim basis.
