Crawley Town have dismissed manager Scott Lindsay after a difficult period for the club. The decision follows a run of 10 games without a win, per Sky Sports. Lindsay led the club to promotion from League Two via the play-offs last season, but recent form left the team struggling in the third tier.
The West Sussex club confirmed the departure on Monday morning. Assistant manager Jamie Day and first-team coach Carl Laraman have also left the Broadfield Stadium, according to The Guardian. The club currently sits in the relegation zone of the League One table after a 2-0 defeat on Saturday.
Directors at Crawley Town expressed gratitude for the work Lindsay performed during his tenure, specifically noting the promotion success in May. However, the board felt a change was necessary to secure the club's position in the division. A search for a permanent successor begins immediately, while academy staff take temporary charge of first-team duties, per official club communications.
