Gary Megson has been relieved of his duties as Bolton manager with immediate effect.
The 50-year-old leaves the Reebok Stadium with Wanderers 18th in the Barclays Premier League. His final game was last nights 2-2 draw at home to Hull.
A club statement read: The decision has been taken in the light of the position the club finds itself in the Barclays Premier League at the halfway point of the season.
