Barnsley have confirmed the departure of head coach Markus Schopp after five months in charge.

Schopp leaves the club after the Tykes suffered their seventh successive loss at the weekend with a 2-1 defeat to Bristol City. Barnsley are currently second from bottom in the Championship with only eight points so far this season. Joseph Laumann is set to take charge of the side for the midweek game against fellow strugglers Derby.
