King's Lynn Town manager Mark Hughes sacked

King's Lynn Town have sacked manager Mark Hughes following a poor start to the season.

The National League North side have one win in 12 in all competitions and are out of the FA Cup.

Chairman Stephen Cleeve told the club's official website: "I will always be grateful to Mark for stepping up to the plate when Tommy Widdrington walked out on the club."

Assistant manager Adrian Whitbread has also left the Linnets.

Hughes was appointed in April 2023 following the departure of Widdrington, who subsequently joined National League side Aldershot as manager.

The Northern Irishman, who started his career at Tottenham Hotspur and had spells at clubs including Oldham, Stevenage and Barnet, led the Linnets to the National North play-offs but the team were beaten at the semi-final stage by Kidderminster Harriers.
