Fleetwood Sacks Coach Scott Brown After Five Defeats

Fleetwood Sacks Coach Scott Brown After Five Defeats

Fleetwood Town have sacked coach Scott Brown, after garnering only 19 wins in 64 matches since he took charge last year. 

The Cod Army have picked up just one point from their first six League One games, having been beaten 2-1 at Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

After retiring from Celtic, Scott took the Fleetwood Vacancy in May 2022 and they finished 13th in his one full season in charge, fading out of play-off contention late in the season.

Brown spent 14 years with Celtic during one of the Scottish top-flight club’s most successful periods, in which they just missed out on 10 league titles in a row but won four consecutive domestic trebles.

Fleetwood issued a statement to say that “Brown has left the club with immediate effect”.

The statement added: “Following a difficult run of results the club reluctantly felt now is the right time to make a change to the first team management.

“Everyone at the club would like to place on record their thanks to Scott and Steven for their hard work and professionalism during their time at the club.”

Brown’s assistant head coach Steven Whittaker has also left the Lancashire club. And Fleetwood are currently wallowing in the relegation zone. 

Next Saturday’s scheduled home league derby with Blackpool was postponed because of international call-ups.
