Neill Collins: Barnsley sack head coach with one game to play

League One Barnsley have sacked head coach Neill Collins with one game of the regular season left.

The Tykes are fifth in the third tier but are without a win in their past five matches.

Collins took over at Oakwell in July after a spell in charge of USL Championship side Tampa Bay Rowdies in the USA.

Director of football Mladen Sormaz said in a statement on the club website, external that “with a crucial season conclusion ahead of us, we feel that now is the right time to make a change”.

Coach Martin Devaney has been placed in interim charge as Barnsley look to secure a play-off berth for the second successive season.

The South Yorkshire side have not dropped out of the top six once since 3 October and have been in fifth place since 17 February.

Lincoln host promoted Portsmouth, while Oxford and Blackpool face away trips to Exeter and Reading respectively in League One’s final round of matches on Saturday.
