Salford City manager Karl Robinson has been sacked by the League Two club after their play-off final defeat.<\/b><\/p>\n
The move comes nine days after their 3-0 loss to Notts County at Wembley.<\/p>\n
Former MK Dons, Charlton and Oxford boss Robinson had been in charge at Moor Salford’s joint-longest serving boss in the Football League era.<\/p>\n
Salford began last season under a new ownership structure, with only Gary Neville and David Beckham from the ‘Class of 92’ still investors. Both former England and Manchester United stars were at Wembley for the play-off loss.<\/p>\n
“Salford City Football Club can confirm that Karl Robinson will leave his position today as head coach with immediate effect,” the club said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“This decision has been reached unanimously by the club’s Board and executive team following a thorough review of the football operation.<\/p>\n
“Karl has conducted himself throughout his time at Salford City with professionalism and integrity.<\/p>\n
“These decisions are never easy, but we believe this is the right moment to make a change as we look ahead to the next chapter in Salford City’s development.”<\/p>\n
Salford began the campaign with high hopes of promotion, but their chances of an automatic spot were dented by a run of five defeats in six games in January and February.<\/p>\n
They missed out on automatic promotion on the final day when they failed to win at third-bottom Crawley.<\/p>\n
Robinson apologised to supporters after the Notts County loss, saying his team had “let them down”.<\/p>\n
The future of Robinson’s assistant Alex Bruce and wider coaching team is still to be determined, with Salford confirming their efforts to appoint a replacement “will begin immediately”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
