Bolton has fired Gary Megson with the club in the Premier League relegation zone.
The 50-year-old Megson's last match on Tuesday night saw Bolton throw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Hull.
Bolton said Wednesday that "the decision has been taken in the light of the position the club finds itself in the Premier League at the halfway point of the season."
Bolton is level on 18 points with Hull, four ahead of bottom-place Portsmouth.
Assistant manager Chris Evans and first-team coach Steve Wigley will take temporary charge of the first team.
