Crawley Town sacks head coach Colin Kazim-Richards

Crawley Town has announced the departure of head coach Colin Kazim-Richards and assistant head coach Julian Gray. The club also confirmed that director of football Erdem Konyar will be leaving.

The decision follows a difficult start to the League Two campaign, with the club recording only one win in ten matches and sitting 24th in the table, six points adrift of safety. This marks the club’s poorest start to a season in 15 years.

Kevin Blackwell has been appointed as interim manager while the club searches for a permanent successor. Reports suggest former Cardiff City manager Steve Morison has emerged as a leading candidate for the role.
