The former MK Dons head coach loses his job a little over a year after returning to his old club

Crawley Town have sacked Scott Lindsey with the side sat just one point above the League Two relegation zone.

The ex-MK Dons head coach returned to West Sussex this time last year, overseeing their relegation from League One, but their struggled have continued into this term.

On Saturday, the 1-0 defeat to Fleetwood Town was their tenth without a win, leaving them a point outside the drop zone and just two from the foot of the EFL.

Last March, Lindsey was sacked by Dons after a similar wretched record of two wins in 12, which left the club in 18th place and staring down the barrel of their lowest ever finish.

Crawley owner Raphael Khalili said: “This was not an easy decision for the club. Scott has given this club some everlasting memories, which we will all be eternally grateful for. Unfortunately, results have not been at a high enough standard.

“Scott leaves the club with my highest regards, and I truly wish him and his family the very best for the future.”

In his second spell at Broadfield Stadium, Lindsey oversaw 53 games, won 12, drew 14 and lost 27.
