Aston Villa is currently 19th on the Premier League Table.
The decision to sever ties with the former Tottenham Hotspurs manager follows a 2-1 defeat by Swansea on Saturday – Villa’s sixth straight loss in the league this term.
The club said in a statement: “The board believes the results on the pitch were simply not good enough and that a change is imperative.”
Under-21 manager Kevin MacDonald has been placed in interim charge as the club embarks on a search for a permanent replacement.
Appointed in February, Sherwood reached the FA Cup final with Villa in his first season in charge where they succumbed 4-0 to an imperious Arsenal side, but has won one of ten league matches this season.
Sherwood has overseen just 28 games in all competitions since replacing Paul Lambert – the shortest spell for any permanent Villa manager.
