Former Town boss Paul Hurst has been sacked by Scunthorpe United only eight months after taking charge.
Hurst and his Town assistant Chris Doig were relieved of their duties this afternoon following last night’s 3-0 defeat at Northampton which leaves the Iron in 16th place in League Two.
"Scunthorpe United would like to announce that manager Paul Hurst and assistant manager Chris Doig have left their positions at the club with immediate effect,” a club statement reads.
"We thank them for their efforts during their time at the club and wish them well for the future.”
Hurst's record at Glanford Park, having taken over in May last year, reads played 38, won 12, drew 10 and lost 16.
The Scunthorpe job was Hurst’s first in football after his disastrous 149-day spell with the Blues.
