Crawley part ways with ex-Ireland goalkeeper Elliot

Crawley have sacked manager Rob Elliot with the club facing an uphill battle to avoid relegation from League One.

Former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Elliot, who won four caps for the Boys in Green between 2014 and 2016, has been in charge for just over five months, during which time the London-born 38-year-old oversaw just five wins in 33 games.

The last straw was Saturday’s 5-1 defeat by Huddersfield, which stretched their winless run to eight matches and left them in 22nd place, 12 points adrift of Bristol Rovers in 20th.
