Championship football's harsh realities will have been keenly felt in the Arveladze household tonight, as former Rangers and Ajax striker Shota was dismissed as head coach of Hull City just hours before tonight's game.
The 49-year-old became friends with Tigers owner Acun Ilicali during his time in Turkey, and was appointed boss at the MKM Stadium in January.
However, a disappointing start to the season with City down in 20th place, and Ilicali stated his and the Georgian's views "were not aligned".
Former defender Andy Dawson has taken interim charge of the side, while Dutch assistant Peter van der Veen has left.
