Darko Milanic has been sacked by Leeds United after defeat at home to Wolves.
Leeds' managerial circus returned on Saturday night as trigger-happy owner Massimo Cellino parted company with Milanic after six games in charge.
Milanic's reign - the same as predecessor David Hockaday's - ended almost immediately after the 2-1 loss to Wolves at Elland Road.
Neil Redfearn - who bridged the gap between Hockaday and Milanic with 10 points from 12 as caretaker - is to return as permanent manager on Monday.
Cellino asked director of football Nicola Salerno to deliver the news to Milanic shortly after he had defended his position in his post-match press conference.
"I want to apologise to the supporters - they deserve better results," Cellino said after ending Milanic's tenure just 32 days after he left Sturm Graz for Yorkshire.
That is a statistic to make Brian Clough's 'damned' 44 days look long serving, but Cellino has never been a man to hang around.
In his 20-year spell with Italian side Cagliari he earned the nickname 'the manager-eater' after removing 36 managers. Since arriving at Leeds in January he has sacked Brian McDermott twice, Hockaday and now Milanic.
Cellino added to the Yorkshire Evening Post: "I have given the order to fire him. I made a mistake with this guy. He is negative, he has a losing mentality. He has three points from six games - that is relegation (form)."
