Carlisle United have confirmed that former Bristol City manager Keith Millen has left the club "by mutual consent" just four months after he was appointed at Brunton Park, with ex-Robins coach Paul Simpson taking immediate charge of the team.
Millen been at the helm for only 22 games across all competitions for the League Two strugglers, winning just six, and the Cumbrians haven't experienced a victory in their last eight matches, dating back to January 8.
That has sent them falling down the League Two standings and into the relegation zone, one point behind Oldham Athletic in 22nd, and potentially bound for the National League.
