Bristol Rovers are on the lookout for a new manager following the sacking of Darrell Clarke.
The Gas suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to Swindon Town on Saturday afternoon, which turned out to be the last straw for Clarke, in what was a tenth successive League Two defeat, a club record.
The League Two team currently sits in 23rd place in the table after 20 matches and are in the relegation zone alongside Newport County. Having been relegated last season, back-to-back relegations could be on the cards, as the Pirates have only managed to secure five league victories in this campaign.
