It was a hectic weekend of managerial changes in the English football pyramid and Bristol Rovers were among those to pull the trigger. Former Rotherham United boss Matt Taylor was the man relieved of his duties after just over a year in charge.
He has left with the Gas sat 20th in the League One table and his assistant, Wayne Carlisle, has also been dismissed.
A club statement read: “Bristol Rovers FC can confirm that manager Matt Taylor and assistant manager Wayne Carlisle have been relieved of their first-team duties.
“The club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Matt and Wayne for all their hard work during their time with Bristol Rovers, and we wish them both every success in their respective future careers.
“David Horseman and Lee Cattermole will take interim responsibility for first-team football duties while the club undertakes a thorough recruitment process for a new first-team manager.”
Here are the early BetVictor frontrunners for the Bristol Rovers gig.
