Karl Robinson leaves MK Dons

The former MK Dons boss was in charge at the League One side for almost six and a half years and was the third-longest serving manager in English football.

In a statement, the club said: "Everyone at MK Dons would like to thank Karl for his immense contribution - he will always remain a respected and significant figure at Stadium MK. 

"Head of coaching Richie Barker will take temporary charge of the team while the Club searches for Karl's successor".

Robinson led the club into the Championship at the end of the 2014-15 season, but suffered relegation in MK Dons' first season in England's second tier.

MK Dons are now just one point ahead of the relegation zone in League One and just lost 3-0 at home to Southend on Saturday.
