Paul Sturrock has been sacked as Yeovil Town’s manager after a run of 12 League Two matches without a win left the Glovers rooted to the foot of the Football League.
Sturrock, 59, took charge at Huish Park in April but has achieved only two wins from 20 league matches this season and leaves the club following Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Northampton. Darren Way will take charge as interim manager with immediate effect with Terry Skiverton assisting him.
The Yeovil chairman, John Fry, said: “We are very sad that the board had to reach this decision today and we thank Paul for his hard work during his time at Huish Park. We wish him well for the future, however we all felt that in the light of recent results we had no alternative. We will now begin our search for a new manager.”
Sturrock took charge of his eighth different club – he has had two spells as Plymouth manager – when appointed by Yeovil and has won promotion five times but he was unable to save the club from relegation in May.
Yeovil finished bottom of League One last term and have never recovered from a poor start this season after losing five of their first six matches.
