Johnson leaves Northampton

Johnson won just seven of his 34 games in charge at Northampton and the club is currently four places from the bottom of League Two.

“Gary has been a successful manager in the past and I am sure he will be again in the future,” Northampton chairman David Cardoza said.

“Unfortunately, things just haven’t worked out for Gary here, and there comes a point when you have to accept that fact, take stock and make a decision and following a discussion between Gary and I over the weekend, it was decided that we part company.

“We wish Gary all the very best for the future. We part on good terms and our search for a new manager now begins.”

Johsnon added: “After discussions with the Chairman, it was agreed that I part company with the club.

“I would like to thank the Chairman for his support during my time here. I am sorry we did not reach the expectations we had set ourselves but I wish the club, it’s players and supporters all the very best for the future.”
