Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked by Turkish club Besiktas after they crashed out of the Conference League.
Solskjaer took the Istanbul side to to a fourth-placed finish last season.
But a 1-0 home defeat by Swiss side Lausanne meant the club would not be playing European football this season, and the club dismissed the Norwegian after the game.
Other favourites, including AZ Alkmaar, Fiorentina, Rayo Vallecano and Mainz all cruised through while Strasbourg held on to win in Brondby.
In Istanbul, English striker Nathan Butler-Oyedeji scored the only goal in first-half added time as Lausanne upset Besiktas.
The home team played the second half with 10 men after defender Felix Uduokhai was sent off in the 46th minute for a foul on Brandon Soppy.
The club then released a statement saying they had held an emergency meeting.
“Our contract with head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been terminated as a result of the decision made during the board meeting. Our president Serdal Adali expressed his gratitude to Solskjaer for his services.”
Solskjaer, the former Manchester United, Cardiff City and Molde boss was hired in January of this year and lifted Besiktas from sixth to fourth place in the Super Lig. His team had won their only league game so far this season.
