Oldham have parted company with their manager David Dunn after just three months in permanent charge.

The Oldham chairman, Simon Corney, told the club website: “I would like to place on record my thanks and gratitude to David for his tireless efforts over the past four months under what have been extremely difficult circumstances and wish him all the best for the future. He retained his dignity at all times and his hard work and dedication has been commendable.”

The assistant manager, Dean Holden, has also left the club with Corney saying: “Dean has been a loyal and dedicated servant to the club and he leaves with our gratitude and best wishes.”The first-team coach, Keith Brown, has also left his role.

The former Blackburn Rovers midfielder was appointed to the post in October having acted as interim manager following the departure of Darren Kelly the previous month.

At the time, Corney said: “His dedication, hard work and exacting standards have already had a positive effect on the club and the way he has approached the role has made it impossible for us not to give him his chance.

“We believe his ambition, skills and positive influence will be pivotal to the club’s progression.”

Oldham, who are without a win in eight games, are currently third from bottom in League One and visit mid-table Bradford on Saturday.
