Forest Green Rovers boss Troy Deeney's been sacked from the club after just six games in charge.

He was in the job less than a month, having been appointed head coach on December 20 following the sacking of David Horseman.

Rovers are currently seven points from safety at the bottom of League Two.

Dale Vince, Chairman of Forest Green Rovers said: “These are decisions nobody likes to make, but we have acted this way to give FGR the best possible chance of improving results and climbing the league table.

"We wish Troy all the best for the future and thank him for his efforts."

The club says Dan Connor will take charge of the team for Saturday's match at Gillingham.

Their search for a new coach starts straight away.
