"We will always be grateful to Kevin for his hard work here, he helped keep us up last season and we enjoyed a strong first half of this season. But since Christmas the sequence of performances and results have led us to believe a change is in the best interests of all concerned."
"We are fortunate to have someone of Colin's experience, supported by Ian Sampson and the rest of the staff to look after matters on an interim basis."
Northampton Town dismissed manager Kevin Nolan following a severe downturn in performance, with the club winning just one match in their previous 16 league games. Currently positioned 23rd in League One, three points from safety, Northampton has struggled offensively, scoring only 31 goals across 36 matches—the second-lowest total in the division. The final match under Nolan's tenure ended in a 1-0 defeat to AFC Wimbledon. Technical director Colin Calderwood has assumed interim management responsibilities, supported by assistant Ian Sampson, both former Northampton managers. Chairman Kelvin Thomas acknowledged Nolan's contributions, particularly in securing promotion last season and a strong first-half performance, but cited deteriorating results since Christmas as the catalyst for change. This managerial change marks the tenth League One club this season to part ways with their manager.
