Tranmere Rovers part company with manager Nigel Adkins
The move comes 15 months after Adkins took charge of the side
Tranmere Rovers have parted company with veteran manager Nigel Adkins, just 15 months after he arrived at the club.
The decision comes after the League Two strugglers lost 1-0 to Accrington Stanley at home on Tuesday.
They sit 22nd in League Two - two points clear of the relegation zone.
Adkins lost 34 of his 72 games in charge and won 23.
IN a statement, chairman Mark Palios said: "“He helped the Club by acting as interim manager before taking the role as Manager when needed last season and improved results, stabilising the season.
"No-one can doubt his commitment, effort or passion for Tranmere Rovers but this season has been hampered by a litany of injuries to, and suspensions of, key players which have all contributed to the current league position."
He added: "“I don’t need to tell you that Nigel is a thoroughly decent man whose work ethic, commitment and professionalism through a very difficult period has been clear to see.
"He leaves with the Club’s best wishes for the future.”
Tranmere are now searching for a new manager as rumours of a takeover deal involving Rihanna's husband, rapper A$ASP Rocky, continue to swirl.
