Carlos Alberto Parreira (Saudi Arabia, 1998), Cha Bum-kun (South Korea, 1998), and Henryk Kasperczak (Tunisia, 1998) are the only other managers to get the axe mid-tournament. However, all of them were sacked after the second group stage match of their team with one game remaining in the tournament. Lamouchi is the first to be removed after one game.
