Struggling League Two club Crawley Town have sacked manager Kevin Betsy.

He has paid the price for their dismal start to the season.

Betsy and his assistant Dan Micciche have been dismissed today after their latest defeat which left them bottom of the table.

Their 3-0 loss at Grimsby Town on Saturday proved the final straw for the Red Devils' cryptocurrency owners WAGMI United.

The former Arsenal and England youth coach only took charge in the summer but has gone after just 12 games.

Crawley have placed coach Lewis Young - a one-time Carlisle United trialist - in caretaker charge.

He spent seven years on their books as a player, whilst this is a second caretaker spell for the 33-year-old after he took charge followoing John Yems' departure last season.

The Sussex outfit have taken just six points from their opening 12 games despite major summer signings including Newport County striker Dom Telford.

Their opening game of the campaign was a 1-0 defeat at Brunton Park.

In a statement, the club said: "Crawley Town Football Club has today parted company with manager Kevin Betsy and assistant manager Dan Micciche.

"On behalf of everyone at Crawley Town, the club would like to thank Kevin and Dan for all of their efforts during their time at the club and wish them both well for the future.

"Lewis Young will serve as interim manager."

Crawley are next in action against fellow strugglers Newport County next weekend.
