Blackpool have sacked Steve Bruce after a poor start to the League One season, a year after the veteran manager took over at Bloomfield Road.
The 64-year-old, who replaced Neil Critchley in September 2024, led Blackpool to a ninth-place finish last season, but Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat by AFC Wimbledon was their seventh loss in 11 league games, leaving them second bottom.
