Gary Johnson steps down as Northampton boss

Gary Johnson has left Northampton Town by mutual consent.

Northampton Town have parted company with manager Gary Johnson after nine months in charge of the League Two side.

The 56-year-old, who joined the club from Peterborough United in March, has left the side by mutual consent with Northampton's owners.

"Gary has been a successful manager in the past and I am sure he will be again in the future," chairman David Cardoza told the club's official website.

"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."

Johnson has revealed his sorrow in not being able to live up to the club's "expectations".

"After discussions with the chairman, it was agreed that I part company with the club," said Johnson.

"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, its players and supporters all the very best for the future."

David Lee will be the interim manager until a new boss is found to take over at Sixfields.
