Kazim-Richards' first managerial role ends after 212 days

Kazim-Richards sacked after 212 days as Crawley Town manager following poor League Two form; assistant and technical director also depart.

Colin Kazim-Richards has been dismissed as Crawley Town manager after 212 days in charge. The former Feyenoord striker, appointed on 24 March, oversaw a mixed start to the season, winning two of seven remaining matches last spring to help avoid relegation. However, this season has been disastrous: Crawley Town sits bottom of League Two with just five points from ten games and hasn't won in two months. Assistant manager Julian Gray and technical director Erdem Konyar are also leaving the club as part of a major overhaul.
