Mark Kennedy has today been sensationally sacked as manager of Lincoln City.
A club statement said:
“Head coach Mark Kennedy and assistant head coach Danny Butterfield have left the Imps.
Mark took charge of City in the summer of 2022, overseeing more than 70 games. He was joined by Danny in December of that year.
City’s chief executive, Liam Scully, said: “Everyone at the club thanks Mark and Danny for their contribution to the Imps over their time with us, and we wish them well in their future coaching careers. They leave with our thanks and best wishes.”
First-team coach Tom Shaw will take charge of the first team on an interim basis while the club undertakes a thorough process to identify our next head coach.”
A run of five defeats in seven matches has seen rumblings of discontent on the terraces, but there’s a feeling amongst some that there’s more to the story than meets the eye. Recent interviews have heard Mark seemingly fearing the sack and particularly tetchy with Michael Hortin. After the recent defeat at the hands of Burton Albion, he blasted Danny Mandroiu, an interview which felt like it had gone a little too far.
Kennedy becomes the first manager to be sacked in the Clive Nates era, the first since Gary Simpson back in 2014.
