Neil Warnock has been sacked by Middlesbrough despite his side claiming a point at promotion-chasing West Brom on Saturday afternoon.
On Tuesday night the veteran Boro boss broke the record when he took charge of his 1,602nd game in league management. However, the 3-1 defeat at Luton Town pushed Warnock to the brink.
A club statement read: 'Middlesbrough FC have parted company with manager Neil Warnock by mutual consent. The decision was reached after talks between the two parties and Neil leaves the club with the best wishes of all.'
It continued: 'Neil joined the club in June 2020 when he initially came in for our final eight games and secured our Sky Bet Championship status on the final day of the season.
