Matt Bloomfield sacked by Luton Town | OneFootball

Luton Town have sacked manager Matt Bloomfield after 11 games into the League One season.

The Hatters suffered a 2-0 defeat away to league-leaders Stevenage last time out with Luton now 11th in the table with a record of five wins, one draw, and five defeats.

Just two seasons after being in the Premier League, Luton have struggled since then suffering two successive relegations.

Bloomfield was brought into the club midway through the 2024/25 season but was not able to keep his side up.

"Performances and results from the opening 11 matches of the current campaign in League One have fallen below the levels expected, and the Board of Directors has taken the difficult decision to relieve Matt, his assistant Richard Thomas, first team coach Lee Harrison and first team analyst Ben Cirne of their duties," the club said in a statement.

"The Board wishes to thank Matt, Richard, Lee and Ben for their efforts during a difficult period for the Club and wishes them the very best for their future careers.

"Alex Lawless, aided by Paul Benson, Kevin Foley and Kevin Pilkington, will take control of the team for the interim period, starting with Tuesday night’s Vertu Trophy trip to Cambridge United."
