Former Bristol Rovers promotion hero takes interim charge of League Two Swindon Town

Former Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall has been placed in temporary charge of Swindon Town following Jody Morris’ dismissal over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Morris has been sacked with just one game of the 2022/23 League Two season remaining with the Robins 10th in the table and out of the running in terms of promotion. The ex-Chelsea midfielder took over at the County Ground in January but Morris has been unable to get the club into the play-off conversation, and won just four of his 18 games in charge with a further four draws.

Mildenhall will now share the dugout with fellow interim head coach Gavin Gunning for the final game of the campaign against Crawley Town on Monday, with a long-term replacement then expected to be sought.
