Northampton Town have sacked manager Kevin Nolan after a poor run of results, the club announced on Monday. The decision follows a sequence where the team secured only one victory in 16 League One matches. The club currently occupies a position in the relegation zone, according to Sky Sports.
Nolan took charge of the Cobblers in 2025 but struggled to maintain form during the current campaign. A recent string of defeats left the side fighting against the drop to League Two. The board decided to act following the weekend's results to improve their survival prospects, per The Guardian.
Northampton Town confirmed the search for a permanent successor begins immediately. Coaching staff members will oversee first-team duties in the interim period. The club travels to their next fixture seeking to end the winless run and move toward safety. Nolan departs alongside his immediate backroom staff as the hierarchy seeks a fresh approach for the remaining fixtures.
