Highest placed manager to get the sack?

[Kid Galahad]

Was thinking about Ross and getting sacked for being sixth and that being generally unusual, just mentioned on the England commentary that Southgate had Boro fourth in the championship when he got the boot, anyone been higher than that and been given the old Spanish archer?

Ancelotti was sacked in the tunnel after Chelsea lost on the final day of the 2010/11 season to Everton. They finished 2nd in the league

Capello and del Bosque both got sacked immediately after winning the league.

Absolute nonsense that one. He's just won the double in his first season then they replaced him with AVB ffs

Forget about Spain and Italy those mad fucks are a law unto themselves, I'm talking about English football.

Didn't even realise Ancelotti was a permanent manager, thought he was just a fill in, Roman is another weirdo tbh.

A reasonably similar one to the Ross sacking was Lee Clark at Huddersfield whilst they were 4th in League One. They'd had a 43-game unbeaten run in the league under him at one point but about half of those were draws and fans complained that the football was dreadful to watch and they were completely reliant on Jordan Rhodes to bail them out of the shit. They appointed Simon Grayson who got them promoted via the play-offs that season.

Did Ranieri get sacked from Chelsea when they finished second?

He did indeed.

Mind he was replaced by Jose.

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

He did indeed.

Mind he was replaced by Jose.

That’s right aye, I still thought it was a bit harsh on him at the time.

 

[Zak's Dad]

Me too.

Then Jose won the league the next season.

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

Me too.

Then Jose bought the league the next season.

Well given that we are 6th in the third division that makes him the lowest placed manager we’ve had that’s been sacked.

Ever.

 

[Zak's Dad]

True, but Chelsea fans don't care and neither would I.

Blackburn were doing alright when they sacked Steve Kean. Think they were 3rd

 

[gipetto]

Didn't we sack Bruce because he was from Wallsend when we were top of the league?

True but he didn't get us there. Like saying Stokoe got us relegated to the third tier for the first time ever, true but doesn't tell the whole story.
