Oxford United lost 3-0 to Bristol Rovers on Saturday.

It was United's seventh loss in eight games and sees the U's only five points from the relegation places.

Oxford United head coach Karl Robinson was sacked after the game.

 

The club said in a statement: “Oxford United can confirm the departure of Karl Robinson who leaves his role as head coach at the club with immediate effect.

“The board would like to thank Karl for his hard work and efforts in the five years since he joined but recent results and performances mean that a change is needed.

“The search for a new head coach will be thorough and extensive and is already underway.

“While that work is undertaken the existing coaching staff of Craig Short, Leon Blackmore-Such and Wayne Brown will take charge of the first team with their immediate focus being our next game, away at Lincoln City on Saturday.”
