Cook was given his marching orders following last week's FA Cup second-round goalless draw at home to Barrow.
The 54-year-old, who was appointed in March, left with the Club in 11th position and having won just two of their last nine in all competitions.
John McGreal was appointed caretaker but lost his opening match to Charlton Athletic on Tuesday.
Shocking scenes followed as travelling supporters confronted players and reportedly threw objects in their direction.
After the match, McGreal said: "I'm here for a couple of games, see where that goes and then see what the new manager is going to do.
"My remit is literally to come in, try and energise the lads, try and get a couple of good results."
