Crawley Town sack manager Lindsay after winless run

Scott Lindsay's side had not won since the end of January [Getty Images] Crawley Town have parted company with manager Scott Lindsay after a run of 10 games without a win. Saturday's 1-0 loss at Fleetwood Town left the club one point and two places above the League Two relegation zone. The 53-year-old was reappointed as Red Devils boss a year ago, six months after leaving the club to take charge at Milton Keynes Dons.

"This was not an easy decision for the club," Crawley Town owner Raphael Khalili told the club website. "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. "The work to appoint a new manager is already under way, and we will make a statement on the matter in due course. " Lindsay's assistant Neil Smith has also left, and the club has made no announcement on who will take charge of the side in the interim - they next play on Saturday at home to 16th-placed Gillingham.

Lindsay had led Crawley to promotion to League One via the play-offs in May 2024 before leaving the club the following September. He re-joined Crawley with the club 12 points from safety in the relegation places in League One and had some initial success, with wins in his first two games. But they lost their next three matches, and despite ending the season with three wins and a draw from their final four games, they were relegated after finishing one point and one place from safety.
