Sligo Rovers sack Dave Robertson

Dave Robertson became the second managerial casualty of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division season after he was axed by Sligo Rovers.

Declan McIntyre has taken temporary charge of first team duties as they begin the search for a new manager. Sligo host Bohemians on Saturday night at the Showgrounds.

Two days after Limerick called time on Martin Russell, Robertson has paid the price for a poor start from the Bit O’Red, as the club have picked up just one win this season - against Bray Wanderers last month - and drew 1-1 with bottom side Galway last Monday night.
