Crawley’s next opponents Yeovil Town have reportedly sacked manager Gary Johnson.

Johnson was called to a board meeting today to discuss his future following a dismal run of results which have left the Glovers rooted to the foot of the League One table.

Assistant manager Terry Skiverton has been placed in caretaker charge for Saturday’s crucial relegation battle against Reds at Huish Park with Darren Way becoming his assistant.

Johnson previously took the Glovers from the Conference to League One and returned to Huish Park for his second spell in the hot-seat in 2012, going on to win promotion to the Championship for the first time in the club’s history after winning the play-off final.

The Glovers lasted just one season in the Championship and have been rooted in the relegation zone for the majority of the season, although they did knock Crawley out of the FA Cup on the way to a third round tie with Manchester United.

Yeovil chairman John Fry said: “The decision to relieve Gary of his management duties is the hardest I have been involved in during my 23 years at Huish Park.

“Gary took the Glovers from the Conference to the Championship and is one of the most successful managers in Yeovil Town’s 119 year history.

“Unfortunately, ours is a business that depends on good results, and at this stage of the season the facts speak for themselves.”
