Last updated 1st May 2023
Swindon Town has sacked Jody Morris as Head Coach, after three months in the job.
The 44-year-old was appointed on a two-and-half year deal with the hope of getting the Robins promoted from League Two, but won just four of his 18 matches in charge.
It was Morris' first permanent managerial role, after a wealth of coaching experience that included spells as number two to Frank Lampard at Chelsea and Derby County.
His assistant, Ed Brand, has also left the County Ground.
'We haven’t achieved our objectives'
In a statement, Swindon Town said: "We would like to thank both Jody and Ed for their contribution and efforts since joining the football club, and wish them all the very best in the future.
"Our aim when they took over was to push on and finish the second half of the season strongly, but as a club, we haven’t achieved our objectives.
"With just one more league game remaining before we reach the conclusion of the season, we feel now is the right time to take a fresh approach as we look to bring success back to this great club for 2023/24".
Steve Mildenhall and Gavin Gunning will take the helm for Town's final match of the League Two campaign, at home to Crawley Town on Monday 8 May.
