LUTON Town have parted company with manager Matt Bloomfield following the club’s defeat at Stevenage on Saturday.
Bloomfield had quit Wycombe last season when they were pushing for an automatic promotion place to take over at Kenilworth Road and try to keep them in the Championship.
The Hatters had only recently dropped out of the Premier League but suffered a double relegation and have largely struggled this season too, with four losses in the last seven games.
Despite being given the backing of Luton chief executive Gary Sweet just a couple of weeks ago, defeat against the early-season pacesetters Stevenage proved the last of his 33 matches in charge.
"Performances and results from the opening 11 matches of the current campaign in League One have fallen below the levels expected," read a statement released by the club.
"With two training weeks ahead of the next league match, the process of appointing a new manager is now underway, which will be led by a committee involving members from the executive team, recruitment, football staff and the board.”
Wanderers go to Luton next month for a league game for the first time since 1994.
Another club searching for a manager in League One is Blackpool, with former Bolton boss and Seasiders favourite Ian Evatt understood to be very much in the running to take over from Steve Bruce, who was sacked at the weekend.
