Former Exeter City manager Matt Taylor has been sacked as boss of Championship strugglers Rotherham United manager. The Millers confirmed the news in a statement on Monday morning

The former Exeter City boss was appointed by the Millers last October and led them to a 19th place finish in the 2022/23 campaign. They are currently 22nd in the table with 11 points from 16 games following a 5-0 defeat away to Watford on Saturday.

A statement this morning read as follows: “Rotherham United can confirm that the club have parted company with first team manager Matt Taylor with immediate effect.

“Taylor was appointed in October last year and guided the Millers to Sky Bet Championship survival in 2022/23, taking charge of 55 matches in total during his tenure.

“The 41-year-old was relieved of his duties on Monday and leaves with our wholehearted thanks and best wishes for the future. The search to appoint a new first team manager is already under way.”

Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart said in the club statement: “It was felt by myself and the board that we had to act now by making a managerial change in order to give ourselves the best possible chance of retaining our Sky Bet Championship status this season.

“We are grateful to Matt for his efforts over the course of the last year and it has not been an easy decision to make. It goes without saying that he leaves with the very best wishes of everyone here at Rotherham United.”
