Has any manager ever been sacked during a game?

I'm sure it's happened once but can't remember who or when

Interesting question cannot remember it happening in England but it probably has.

Martin Jol found out his time at Tottenham Hotspur had finished, before a match had even finished. There was already wide speculation that Jol had been fired before the Spurs' October 2007 UEFA Cup clash with Getafe. But Jol got confirmation during the interval, the Daily Mail claims.

Steve Bleasdale?

Was Mark Hughes effectively sacked by Man City at half time in a game? Or news broke of his replacement during the game I think, something like that

Bilic knew before the game didn’t he? They then drew at man city

Not a sacking, but the day Bully scored in injury time to equalise v Tunisia, the home team announced their new manager at halftime.

The outgoing coach handed over the reigns on the pitch, the new boss took charge for the second half.

Solbakken was as good as sacked the moment the ball hit the back of the net for Luton in that cup tie!

Nuno at Southampton, for some posters

Our Wolverhampton Sunday League manager walked out before our season started back in the day.

Newly appointed in pre season, he never turned up for our first match and we never saw him again.

Not sacked and not during a match I know, but it was before any match started!

Don Makay at Fulham

Bobby Gould resigned his job as coach in the dressing room in front of the players at the end of a game, IIRC. Not quite the same thing...

Avram Grant on Chelsea's final game of the season?

Dean Saunders sacked himself at half time in every game, that makes no sense, but neither did he.
What an idiot

Leroy Rosenior ?

Didn't the news break about Van Gaal getting booted at United during the FA Cup final that he won?
