Former Leeds United favourite Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink sacked as Northampton manager
The Cobblers are without a win in their last nine games and fell to a 2-0 defeat at Peterborough today to leave them two points adrift of safety.
“We are sorry to see Jimmy depart as he has worked very hard for us but felt a change at this point was in the best interests of the club,” chairman Kelvin Thomas said on the club’s website.
