Crawley Town are urgently seeking a new manager after Scott Lindsey's departure to MK Dons.
Crawley Town have opened the search for a new manager following the departure of manager Scott Lindsey, who is set to drop down a division to take over at MK Dons.
Lindsey played a pivotal role in saving Crawley from relegation after joining in January 2023 and securing their promotion to League One last season.
He has been the Robins' manager since June 2022 after taking over from Ben Garner following his switch to Charlton. However, the 52-year-old is set to leave his former club without a manager - replacing Mike Williamson (now with Carlisle) as MK Dons manager.
With the club sitting 18th in the table and needing stability, the search for his replacement has become urgent. Gateshead manager Rob Elliot is the current bookmakers' favourite, but Crawley might also explore unproven talent, hoping to discover a hidden gem as they look to steady the ship.
