BURTON have SACKED manager Mark Robinson with the club rock bottom of League One.
Robinson, 58, left his previous job as Chelsea’s development squad boss to become Burton head coach in June.
But Robinson has been dismissed just five months after joining, with Brewers already 11 points from safety.
Burton are winless in League One this season, having lost seven and drawn four of their opening 11 games.
Robinson has only won only ONE of his 14 games in charge – in the EFL Trophy.
And the club’s Scandinavian owners decided enough was enough following Tuesday’s 3-2 home loss to Wycombe Wanderers.
He was the first appointment made by Burton’s new owners – the Nordic Football Group – when the Sweden-based consortium took control of the east Staffordshire club in the summer.
Sporting director Bendik Hareide said that they ” had great regret over the fact that this has not worked out in the way any of us would have wanted”.
He told the club website: “We have to be objective with our decision-making, and we feel we have reached a point where a change is necessary to improve the team’s results.
“We believe we have a talented squad, and we remain committed to our football strategy. Now is the time to re-group and look to deliver a positive season for our fantastic supporters.”
Burton have conceded 24 goals this season, second behind Peterborough have sunk 25 – but also scored that many as well.
