Swindon Town can confirm both First-Team Head Coach, Scott Lindsey, and assistant Jamie Day, have left the club to join Crawley Town.
Lindsey was appointed Head Coach at The County Ground back in June last year, making the step up from assistant.
During his spell in the hotseat, Scott guided Town to the play-off places in EFL Sky Bet League Two, playing a key role in the development of young players, with our identity, vision and values at the heart of everything he did.
Everyone here at the football club would like to express their sincere thanks to Scott and Jamie for their commitment and hard work during their time here, and wish them all the best in their next venture.
Gavin Gunning and Steve Mildenhall will take charge of the first-team on an interim head coach basis, with work continuing behind the scenes to appoint our new Head Coach.
Town Technical Director, Sandro Di Michele, said: “I’d like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and Jamie for their hard work and dedication during their time with us.
“They leave us in a healthy position in the League Two table and have helped develop a squad of young players capable of competing with the very best sides in this division.
“I would like to wish them all the best as they embark on the next chapters in their careers at Crawley.”
Club Owner, Clem Morfuni, added: “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our fans for their continued support and patience during the last week or so, and we know they will get behind Steve, Gavin and our players in the short term.
“Due to legal protocols, we have been unable to provide comment or respond to questions regarding the futures of both Scott and Jamie.
“Our prime aim is now focused on bringing in a new Head Coach who shares the same drive, ambition, vision and values as we do in order to drive us forward, with promotion this season very much still our intended target.”
