Nolan sacked as Northampton manager

Northampton Town have sacked boss Kevin Nolan following a run of only one win in their past 16 league matches.

The Cobblers are 23rd in League One, three points from safety, having scored only 31 goals in 36 matches, the second lowest total in the league.

They drew a blank in what proved to be Nolan's final game in charge, losing 1-0 at AFC Wimbledon on Sunday.

Technical director Colin Calderwood has been put in charge on an interim basis, assisted by Ian Sampson, both ex-Northampton managers.
