Inigo Calderon has been sacked by Bristol Rovers, who is the favourite to replace him?
Bristol Rovers have parted ways with head coach Inigo Calderon following their relegation to League Two, ending a turbulent five-month spell in charge.
The former Brighton defender was unable to reverse the club’s decline after taking over in December, with just six wins from 26 games.
A dismal run of nine defeats in the final 10 matches, coupled with long-term injuries to key strikers and poor away form, ultimately sealed his fate.
Despite the club operating with its highest-ever playing budget, Calderon’s first senior managerial role ended in disappointment, prompting a summer rebuild both on and off the pitch at The Memorial Stadium.

Who is the favourite to be the next Bristol Rovers Manager?
Darrell Clarke has emerged as a leading contender to become the next Bristol Rovers manager at 1/3 odds with Bet Victor.
A fan favourite and club legend, Clarke previously guided the Gas to consecutive promotions during a successful spell between 2014 and 2018.
His deep connection with the club, combined with a proven track record at League Two level - including promotion-winning campaigns with both Rovers and Port Vale - strengthens his case.
Currently out of work after leaving Barnsley in March, Clarke is the bookmakers’ early favourite, with strong backing from fans eager for a return to stability and ambition.

Michael Duff is second favourite to take over at Bristol Rovers at a best price of 9/4.
The 46-year-old guided Cheltenham Town to the League Two title in 2021, earning the Manager of the Season award and showcasing his ability to build promotion-winning teams on modest budgets.
In February 2021, Duff was linked with the Bristol Rovers job after Paul Tisdale’s sacking, indicating prior interest from the club.
Recently available after leaving Huddersfield in March, Duff remains highly regarded despite a tough end to his tenure.
