Crawley Town confirmed the appointment of Colin Kazim-Richards as the club's new head coach on Tuesday. The former forward joins the League One side on a contract running until the end of the 2026-27 season, according to an official club statement. He replaces the outgoing management team following a period of interim leadership at Broadfield Stadium.
Kazim-Richards brings experience from a playing career that spanned eight countries and included 37 international caps for Turkey. He previously held coaching roles at Derby County before moving into senior management with this appointment. The 39-year-old task involves guiding the Red Devils through the remainder of the domestic campaign, per Sky Sports.
Crawley currently occupy 19th position in the League One table following their recent run of results. Kazim-Richards will oversee his first training session on Wednesday ahead of the upcoming league fixture. The club owners expressed confidence in his ability to develop the first-team squad and implement a long-term footballing philosophy, according to The Guardian.
