Arne Slot's Liverpool tenure is over after the club announced they had parted company with the Dutchman following a review into the 2025/26 season.
Discontent was growing stronger at Anfield following an extremely disappointing season where Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League and failed to win any silverware despite considerable transfer investment.
Such a thought was inconceivable last summer, but Slot isn't be the first manager to be removed from his post after winning a league title.
While Carlo Ancelotti was sacked as Chelsea manager after guiding the Blues to the 2010 Premier League, his dismissal actually came hours after the 2010/11 season had finished. Kenny Dalglish was the first manager to leave his position on the back of a title win, becoming Blackburn Rovers' director of football the season after their title win.
Read on as we take a look at the other managers who found that securing silverware was not enough to keep them in job.
Claudio Ranieri
In his first season at Leicester, Claudio Ranieri completed the unthinkable by leading the relegation favourites to a Premier League title, earning a Premier League Manager of the Season award in the process.
Competing in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history, the Foxes were ultimately unable to maintain their success the following season, with five consecutive league defeats between January and February marking the nadir of the campaign.
The streak left the club lingering just one point above the drop zone with 13 games left. Only one team had ever previously been relegated the season after winning the top flight.
Given the circumstances, the club decided to act and Ranieri was sacked, despite significant backlash from some portions of the club's fanbase.
Jose Mourinho
In 2013 Jose Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge as the Prodigal Son, nearly a decade after 'The Special One' first announced his arrival in English football.
The Blues were left empty-handed in his first term back at the helm, but Mourinho proved his Midas touch had not abandoned him the following year as Chelsea claimed a Premier League and EFL Cup double.
Mourinho has often been accused as suffering from 'third season syndrome' as a decline sets in and the 2015/16 campaign perfectly encapsulates why the moniker has so often been associated with the Portuguese manager.
Four wins from their first 16 Premier League games saw Chelsea languishing in 16th place, and Mourinho was sacked in December.
Roberto Mancini
Taking over from Mark Hughes, Roberto Mancini's job was to get Manchester City challenging for the Premier League title.
With a vast influx of money, Mancini's new-look City squad were primed for a title tilt, dethroning arch-rivals Manchester United in 2012 in the most dramatic fashion imaginable.
The title defence, however, left much to be desired. Trailing their rivals throughout the campaign, City finished a distant 11 points behind United, with Mancini sacked after their shock FA Cup final defeat to Wigan Athletic, leaving Brian Kidd to step in as caretaker for the final Premier League game of the season.
