Owner Massimo Cellino wielded the axe after a 2-1 defeat to
Wolves today.
The 46-year-old has been in charge just 32 days.
Starsport understands that Neil Redfearn will take over as head
coach and will take training on Monday morning.
Cellino said: "I want to apologise to the supporters, they deserve
better results."
Milanic took just three points from a possible 18 in charge of
Leeds.
The Slovenian was recruited in the wake of David Hockaday's
disastrous reign.
The three points Milanic has picked up have come from three
draws. After the loss to Wolves, he is without a win in English
football.
Sacking coaches is second nature to Cellino, who was sat with
Redfearn during the game.
"I understand football, and I can understand this situation, when
a new head coach has only a few points from six games, I can
understand that," Milanic said when asked of the clamour for
Redfearn in his post-match press conference.
Leeds had actually been good value for a first-half lead given to
them by Mirco Antenucci but retreated in the second period and
allowed James Henry and Leon Clarke to win it for Wolves.
"I am disappointed because we deserve some more points," he
added.
"This is not a good position for me and the team, but I still see
good things that we make. I believe it (he can get it right).
"My job is to do this better, to improve. I am sure this one
second half is not the work of one month. I work with my team
a lot and it's a young team without a lot of experience.
"We played a good first half, had chances, we had one goal. Then
we began to play backwards."
