League Two: MK Dons sack head coach Mark Jackson after relegation

MK Dons have sacked head coach Mark Jackson following the club's relegation to League Two.

Jackson's reign lasted less than five months, having been appointed as Liam Manning's successor in December 2022.

The 45-year-old left his position as Leeds United first-team coach to lead Dons' battle against relegation but registered just six wins in 25 games.

His assistant Robbie Stockdale has also left the club, who were relegated following Sunday's 0-0 draw at Burton.

Jackson, whose length of contract was not revealed when he joined the club, had said he wanted to remain as manager for next season immediately after that game.

However, a short Dons statement on Tuesday confirmed his departure, thanking Jackson, Stockdale and analyst Aaron Dagger, who is also leaving the club, "for their efforts during their time at Stadium MK".

Jackson had spent more than seven years at Leeds - as manager of the academy, under-18s and under-23s - before being promoted to the first team set-up by Jesse Marsch in March 2022.

However, his first spell as a number one did not go to plan as he was unable to arrest the Dons' surprising slide.

MK finished third in League One in 2021-22, missing out on automatic promotion by one point and losing to Wycombe over two legs in the play-off semi-finals, but their downturn this season has been stark.

They sat 22nd in the table when Jackson took charge just before Christmas but he oversaw two wins over bottom side Forest Green Rovers in December and January to lift them out of the relegation places.

However, they then lost six of their next nine to drop back into the bottom four before three successive 1-0 wins against relegation rivals Cambridge, Accrington and Morecambe moved them back up to 19th.

But Jackson was unable to muster another win as Dons drew six of their final eight games - including surrendering a 4-1 lead to draw 4-4 with Barnsley - to go down by a point on the final day.

  Tell us about your Background I was born and raised in South East, Nigeria. I come from a family of six and I grew up under the tutelage of my parents. As avid readers, my parents loved to buy books so we had an entire library at home. They instilled in us kids, the habit of reading at a very early stage. My dad also occasionally gave us reading and writing assignments during the weekends, and I was always overly excited to do them.  How did poetry all begin for you I must have been 15 or 16 years old when I stumbled upon a certain compilation of poetry book in the library at home. Reading that book was a whole new and wonderful experience for me. The poems it contained were deeply resonating and made me feel very much fascinated. As I read on, I started to discover that most of the poems were somewhat similar to my scribblings (thoughts and emotions I used to write down) and this further piqued my interest.   What is your writing process like I mostly just st...
