MK Dons have confirmed that the club’s Head Coach Scott Lindsey has left the club.

His departure was confirmed the day after a 1-0 defeat for MK Dons at home to Colchester United. The result means the Dons are now winless in six matches and as part of a longer run that has seen the Dons win just two of their last 16 League Two games, in a run that has seen the team fall from 3rd at the start of the sequence to 17th position.

Lindsey has left MK Dons after less than six months in charge, having joined MK Dons in September from Crawley Town as a replacement for Mike Williamson after the Dons’ former boss left to take over at Carlisle United.

Before joining MK Dons, Lindsey had been in charge of a Crawley side that won promotion from League Two via the play-offs last season, including 3-0 and 5-1 victories over the Dons in the two legs of the semis.

A run of six straight wins between October and December had lifted the Dons up the table, with Lindsey having taken over a Dons side in the bottom half after a slow start, but the collapse in form has seen them fall back down the table.

MK Dons did not confirm who will be taking charge of their next game against Accrington Stanley on Tuesday (04/03), with the club confirming that a further announcement will be made in due course.

In a brief statement, the club thanked Lindsey for his work and efforts in his tenure at Stadium MK.

The statement read, “Milton Keynes Dons have parted company with Head Coach Scott Lindsey.

“Everyone at MK Dons would like to sincerely thank Scott for his efforts during his time in Milton Keynes and wish him every success in the future.

“The club will be making no further comment at this time and will update supporters in due course.”
